CAUTIONS
Observe and exercise the following cautions to avoid damage and keeping
your camera in an optimum working status.
• Keep Dry
This camera is not waterproof, and may malfunction when immersed in
water, or any liquids to enter the interior of the camera.
• Away from Moisture, Salt or Dust
Wipe off salt or dust with a slightly dampened soft cloth after using your
camera at the beach or seaside, then, dry your camera thoroughly.
• Away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Never put the camera too close to any equipment producing strong electro-
magnetic fields, such as electric motor. Strong electromagnetic fields could
lead to camera malfunctions or interfere the data recording.

• Avoid rapid temperature change
Rapidly moving the equipment between hot and cold temperatures may
form water droplets on its exterior and interior. To prevent the condensa-
tion, place the equipment in its carry case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to a rapid temperature change.
• Do not drop
Strong shock or vibration of dropping could cause malfunction. Keep the
strap around your wrist when carrying the camera.
