device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

Safety warning and notice
Before operating the camera, please make sure that you read and
fully understand the content in this section. If you ignore and
violate all safety warning notices indicated in this section, the
camera warranty may be void. Meanwhile, not only the camera but
also you and all other people and things around you may be
severely damaged, injured, or even placed in danger of death.
• Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of babies, toddlers,
and children. In particular, small parts such as memory cards and
batteries could be easily dismantled and swallowed by them.
• Use only the original accessories to avoid possible risks to health and
property, and thus meet all related legal regulations.
• Warranty is void if damage or system failure occurred due to outside
factors such as collision, fire, flood, dirt, sewage, earthquake, and other
E1020_UM - EN.book Page 3 Tuesday, November 18, 2008 6:32 PM
Downloaded from ManualsCamera.com Manuals

force majeure events as well as incorrect usage of electricity or use of
non-original accessories.
• It is the sole responsibility of the user if problems (such as data loss and
system failure) occurred due to non-factory installed software, parts,
and/or non-original accessories.
• The only way of replacing the battery and the memory card is to open
the Battery / Memory card cover.
• Do not dismantle the camera under any circumstances.
• The capacity of your camera battery will reduce each time it is charged/
emptied. Storage at too high or low temperatures will also result in a
gradual capacity loss. As a result, the operating time of your camera may
be considerably reduced, even after a full recharge of the battery.
• Do not change the camera. Any changes to the camera invalidate the
warranty.
• When using the flash, do not go too close to human eyes (particularly
for babies, toddlers, and children) or animal eyes. Otherwise, when the
flash fires, the light may cause damage to human eyes or irritate
animals.
• Dispose of unwanted batteries and cameras as permitted by the laws in
your countries.
• Only use original batteries and charging devices. Otherwise you risk
serious damage to health and property. The battery could explode, for
instance. All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a
conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touch
exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects. Do not dispose of batteries in fire as they
may explode.
• Always keep the camera in the accompanying leather case or pouch for
better protection against splashes, dust, and collision.

maintenance center.
• Whenever there is data in the internal memory or the external memory
card, you should make a backup copy to a computer or disc. So, you can
have a backup solution if data loss occurs.
