Adapters and battery chargers are intended for indoor use only. The
use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified
herein may result in exposure to shock and/or electrical or mechanical
hazards. If the LCD breaks, do not touch the glass or liquid. Contact
Kodak customer support.
■The use of an accessory that is not recommended by Kodak may cause fire, electric
shock, or injury. For approved accessories, go to
www.kodak.com/go/Zm2accessories.
■Use only a USB-certified computer equipped with a current-limiting motherboard.

Care and maintenance
■Before inserting or removing a card, make sure your hands, the camera, and the
card are completely dry.
■If water has entered the camera, remove the card. Allow all components to air-dry
for at least 24 hours before using the camera.
■Wipe off dirt or sand from the door seals—debris could compromise the seal and
cause a leak in water.
■Do not subject the camera to temperatures lower than 0 (32°F) or higher than
40°C (104°F) for an extended time—the integrity of the seals may be
compromised. Wait until camera reaches operating temperatures before using.
■Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft,
lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions
unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as
suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.

Products for more information.
