We have paid close attention to the safety of this camera. When using this
camera, we request your special attention regarding items marked with the
following symbols.
Warning
• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are
present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging
the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric
shock.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other strong light sources when
taking pictures or leave the camera sitting in direct sunlight with a lens
cap off. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction or cause a fire.
• Do not look at the sun or other strong light sources through a lens. Doing
so may lead to a loss of eyesight or cause vision to be impaired.
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor,
stop using the camera immediately, remove the battery or the AC
adapter, and contact your nearest service center. Continued use can
cause a fire or electric shock.
Caution
• Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash. You
may burn yourself.
• Do not cover the flash with clothing when discharging the flash.
Discoloration may occur.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk of low
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.
• Should the monitor be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes
or mouth.
• Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use of the
camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any
abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention
immediately.
Warning
• Always use the battery charger and AC adapter exclusively developed
for this camera, with the specified power and voltage. Using a battery
charger or AC adapter not exclusive to this camera, or using the
exclusive battery charger or AC adapter with an unspecified power or
voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown. The
specified voltage is 100 - 240V AC.
• Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or
electric shock.
• If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other
abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue using and consult your
nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If water should happen to get inside the product, consult your nearest
service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the battery
charger or AC adapter, unplug the power plug and discontinue using.
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire or electric shock.
• Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.
Accumulated dust may cause a fire.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL certified power supply
cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper,
one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female
connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or
the equivalent.
Caution
• Do not place or drop heavy objects on or forcefully bend the AC plug
cord. Doing so may damage the cord. Should the AC plug cord be
damaged, consult your nearest service center.

• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while
the cord is plugged in.
• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.
• Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause
the product to breakdown.
• Do not use the battery charger D-BC186 to charge batteries other than
the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI109. Attempting to charge other
types of batteries may cause an explosion or heating, or may damage
the battery charger.
Warning
• Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.
Accumulated dust may cause a fire.
• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.
• Always grip the plug section when disconnecting the power plug. Do not
pull the power cord. This can damage the power cord and result in a fire
or electric shock.
• If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the adapter or other
abnormality occurs, immediately remove the power plug from the outlet
and contact your nearest dealer or service center for repair. Do not use
the adapter until it is repaired.
• If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the adapter, do
not touch the power plug. This can cause an electric shock.
Caution
• Securely insert the power plug into the outlet. Failure to observe this
precaution may cause a fire.
Warning
• If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with your eyes,
do not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical
attention immediately.
Caution
• Only use the specified battery with this camera. Use of other batteries
may cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not disassemble the battery. Disassembling the battery may cause
an explosion or leakage.
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or
begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Keep wires, hairpins, and other metal objects away from the + and -
contacts of the battery.
• Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. This can cause
an explosion or fire.
• If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with skin or
clothing, it may cause irritation to the skin. Wash the affected areas
thoroughly with water.
• Avoid the following actions regarding the battery:
- Replacement of the battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a
safeguard (for example, in the case of some lithium battery type)
- Disposal of the battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing
or cutting of the battery, that can result in an explosion
- Leaving the battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding
environment that can result in an explosion or leakage of flammable
liquid or gas
- Subjecting the battery to extremely low air pressure that may result in
an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas
• Precautions for D-LI109 Battery Usage:
- USE SPECIFIED CHARGER ONLY.
- DO NOT INCINERATE.
- DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
- DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
- DO NOT EXPOSE TO HIGH TEMP. (140°F / 60°C)
