• The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery. Avoid exposing
your camera to very cold or very hot temperatures. Low or high temperature
conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the camera to
temporarily stop working properly.
• Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using the camera, as
condensation may form on or within the camera.

microwave oven or hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact

the battery terminals come in contact with metal objects, this may cause a fire.
• Do not make any unauthorized alterations to the camera. Doing so may
compromise safety, regulatory compliance, performance, and may void the
warranty.

microwave, incinerate or paint the camera or battery. Do not insert foreign objects
into the battery opening on the camera. Do not use the camera or the battery if it
