especially young children. Eye damage may result. In particular,
remain at least one meter away from infants when using the flash.
 Keep the Nytech DS-5200 away from water and other liquids. Do
not use the camera with wet hands. Never use the Nytech
DS-5200 in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of fire
and electric shock.
 Keep the Nytech DS-5200 and its accessories out of the reach of
children and animals to prevent accidents or damage to the
camera.
 If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the Nytech
