/Cautions & Warnings /Cautions & Warnings
WARNING: Always use extreme caution when using the BlazeTorch for
activities, such as sporting activities, where clear visibility is important. Certain
conditions can affect the performance of the BlazeTorch. For example:
Certain weather and environmental conditions, such as rain, snow,
smoke and dust, can seriously reduce visibility when using the
BlazeTorch.
The performance of the BlazeTorch depends on the level of ambient light,
such as moonlight and artificial light. Always use the built in IR
illuminator under extreme dark conditions.
The BlazeTorch does not provide normal depth perception. Use extreme
caution when using the BlazeTorch when you need to rely upon depth
perception.
It is the user’s sole responsibility for determining whether the use of the
BlazeTorch is appropriate under the circumstances.
Abide by all local laws when using your BlazeTorch and related mounts
and accessories, including all privacy laws, which may restrict use and
recording in certain areas.
CAUTION: BlazeTorch is not warranted against water damage. Do not
submerge in water. Take great care when using BlazeTorch in wet
environments.
To avoid scratching the BlazeTorch, do not touch the lenses. Clean
with a clean, soft cloth only.
Failure to following these cautions could result in damage to
BlazeTorch and void the warranty.
WARNING: Contains Lithium-ion battery. Do not drop, disassemble,
open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate or
paint the camera. Do not insert foreign objects into the camera housing.
Do not use the camera if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked,
punctured or harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing the battery
can cause an explosion or fire.
Failure to following these warnings could result in serious injury or death.
