Safety Precautions
7
En
Location — To avoid damage to the product and prevent personal injury, never
place this product on an unstable stand, tripod, bracket, table or cart. Mount
only on a stable tripod, stand, or bracket. Follow the instructions that describe
how to safely mount the product, and use only the mounting devices
recommended by the manufacturer.
Power Sources — Connect this product only to the power source described on
the product label. If you are not sure about the type of power supply in your
home, consult your local power company. Refer to your operating instructions
for information on using the product with a battery.
Grounding, Polarization — If this product can be used with a specified AC
adapter, the adapter may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug with one blade wider than the other). This safety feature allows the
plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. If you cannot insert the plug into
the wall outlet, pull it out, reverse it, and then reinsert it. If the plug still fails to
fit, contact an electrician and have the receptacle replaced.
Protecting the Power Cord — The power supply cord should be placed so it will
not be walked on. Never put a heavy object on the power cord or wrap it around
the leg of a table or chair. Keep the area around the power cord connection
points, at the power outlet, and at the product connection, free of all AC adapter
or accessory power cords.
Lightning — If a lightning storm occurs while using a specified AC adapter,
remove it from the wall outlet immediately. To avoid damage from unexpected
power surges, always unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and
disconnect it from the camera when the camera is not in use.
Overloading — Never overload wall outlets, extension cords, power strips, or
other power connection points with too many plugs.
Foreign Objects, Liquid Spillage — To avoid personal injury caused by fire or
electrical shock from contact with internal high voltage points, never insert a
metal object into the product. Avoid using the product where there is a danger
of spillage.
Heat — Never use or store this product near any heat source such as a radiator,
heat register, stove, or any type of equipment or appliance that generates heat,
including stereo amplifiers.
Servicing — Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Attempting to remove the
covers or disassemble the product, could expose you to dangerous high
voltage points.
