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.
FCC Caution:

How to Display Certification and Compliance Information
Certification and compliance information for this camera can be viewed on the menu
screen.
>[Setup] > [Approved Regulations]
CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)
Contains IC: 772C-LB1JS955
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. DC-G95
(HMN is 1JS1904) has been tested and found to comply with ISED radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

• Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (DMW-DCC8:
optional), or disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
• Do not press the monitor with excessive force.
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
• Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the camera for a long period of
time.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean
the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may
cause it to malfunction.
• Always use the supplied cords and cables.
• Do not extend the cords or the cables.
• During access (image writing, reading and deleting, formatting etc.), do not turn this unit
off, remove the battery, card or disconnect the AC adaptor. Furthermore, do not subject
the camera to vibration, impact or static electricity.
• The data on the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity or
breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc.
• Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to ensure
proper operation.
• The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.
• The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. If the temperature is too high or too
low, the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
• The battery becomes warm after using and during and after charging. The camera also
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug or
near the batteries.
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature: (Recommended
temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)
•Do not store the battery for a long time while fully charged. When storing the battery for a
long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year. Remove the battery from the
camera and store it again after it has completely discharged.

Care of the camera
∫Handling of the Camera
Do not subject the camera to strong vibration, impacts, or pressure.
These may cause a malfunction or damage.
– Do not drop or knock against hard surfaces.
– Do not push hard on the lens section or monitor.
If sand, dust, or liquid gets on the monitor, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.
– If the monitor is closed when such liquids are present, malfunction may result.
– Touch operations may be incorrectly recognized.
Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.
This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a precision device.
If you shake the camera while turning the camera off, a sensor may operate or a
rattling sound may be heard. This is caused by the image stabilizer mechanism in
the body. It is not a malfunction.
∫Splash Resistant
Splash Resistant is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera
offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash
Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected
to direct contact with water.
In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the following
precautions are taken:
– Splash Resistant works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically designed to
support this feature.
– Securely close the doors, socket caps, contact points cover, flash, etc.
– When the lens or cap is removed or a door is open, do not allow sand, dust, and moisture to
enter inside.
– If liquid gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.
∫Condensation (When the Lens, the Viewfinder or Monitor is Fogged Up)
• Condensation occurs when there are temperature or humidity differences. Be careful because
condensation can lead to stains or mold on the lens, viewfinder, and monitor or cause a failure.
• If condensation occurs, turn off the camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.
