WARNINGS

Turn camera off immediately in the

event of malfunction

Should you notice smoke or an un-

usual smell coming from the equip-

ment, remove the battery from the

avoid burns. Continued operation

could result in injury. After removing

the battery, take the equipment to a

Nikon-authorized service representa-

tive for inspection.

Do not use in the presence of ﬂam-

mable gas

Do not use electronic equipment in

the presence of ﬂammable gas, as

Observe caution when using the strap

Never place the strap around the neck

of an infant or child.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to

prevent infants from putting small

parts into their mouths.

Do not disassemble

Failure to observe this precaution

could result in injury or product mal-

function. Should the product break

as the result of a fall or other acci-

dent, take it to a Nikon-authorized

service representative for inspection,

being careful not to injure yourself on

the broken parts.

Observe proper precautions when

handling camera batteries

If improperly handled, batteries may

emit gases that will collect inside the

case, where they may cause explo-

sion or ﬁre. Observe the following

precautions when handling camera

batteries:

•Use only batteries approved for use

in the camera.

•Batteries are prone to leakage when

fully discharged. Remove the cam-

era from the case when not in use.

•Should water enter the case, re-

move the battery from the camera

immediately.

•Keep the battery terminals dry.

Failure to observe this precaution

could result in injury or product

malfunction.

Do not swallow silica gel

The silica gel desiccant used in this

product is not edible.

Keep out of direct sunlight

Do not leave the FJ-CP1 in direct sun-

light. The case could focus sunlight,

causing ﬁre.

Do not dive while holding

To prevent injury caused by the case

striking the body, do not jump or dive

into water while holding the FJ-CP1.

Do not use below 3m

Do not use at depths below 3m (9ft.

10in.). Failure to observe this precau-

tion could result in leakage or other

malfunction.

Keep the FJ-CP1 watertight

Do not clean the case with a high-

pressure jet. Do not open the case

where it would be exposed to dust

or sand, and be sure to remove any

foreign objects from the seal and any

parts of the case that are in contact

with the seal before closing the case.

Failure to observe these precautions

could result in leakage.

Do not exposure to high temperatures

Do not expose the product to tem-

peratures over 40°C (104°F). Failure

to observe this precaution could

cause the product to warp, resulting

in leakage.

Observe caution when operating the

ﬂash

Using the ﬂash close to your subject’s

eyes could cause temporary visual

impairment. Particular care should

be observed if photographing

infants, when the ﬂash should be

no less than one meter (39in.) from

the subject.

Cautions

To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following

precautions when storing or using the device.

Preventing Leakage

WATER INSIDE THE CASE COULD NOT ONLY EXPOSE THE CAMERA TO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE BUT ALSO RESULT

IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR EXPOSURE TO POISONOUS GASES. THE ENTRY OF WATER INTO THE CASE CAN

BE PREVENTED BY OBSERVING THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:

•Before sealing the FJ-CP1, examine the seal and any parts of the case that are in

contact with the seal carefully to ensure that they are free of dirt, hair, lint, dust,

sand, and other foreign objects. Make sure that the seal is not twisted or out of

position.

•The seal requires periodic replacement. Replace the seal immediately if it is

damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost elasticity.

•Be careful not to damage the seal when removing it from the case. Do not use

metal objects or objects with sharp points when removing the seal.

•Do not use force when removing or positioning the seal. Excessive force may

permanently stretch the seal, causing the case to leak.

•Do not use O-ring lubricant (grease).

•Do not open the FJ-CP1 in areas exposed to spray, high winds, dust, or sand.

•Do not drop, place under heavy objects, or subject to excessive force. Failure to

observe this precaution could cause the case to warp, resulting in leakage.

•In the event of leakage, stop use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of

the case, and take the camera and FJ-CP1 to a Nikon-authorized service represen-

tative.

Shock and Vibration

The FJ-CP1 is not designed to protect the camera from blows or vibration. Do not

drop the case, strike it against hard objects, throw it into the water, jump into the

water holding the case, or leave the case in an area subject to extreme vibration.

Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the camera.

Maximum Depth

The FJ-CP1 is waterproof to 3m (9ft. 10in.). At greater depths, the case could

leak, break, or change shape, resulting in damage to the camera. Do not use at

depths greater than 3m (9ft. 10 in.).

Before using the FJ-CP1 in or near water, test for leaks as described on pages

6–7 and 12 of this manual.

Temperature

Do not leave the FJ-CP1 in areas exposed to high temperatures, such as inside a

car, near a heater, on a beach, or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precau-

tion could weaken or warp the case, resulting in damage to the camera. Sudden

changes in temperature could result in condensation inside the case, which could

also damage the camera. To prevent condensation:

•Before exposing the FJ-CP1 to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed

plastic bag. Do not open the bag until the FJ-CP1 has reached the same tempera-

ture as its surroundings.

•Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on

page 10 of this manual.

•Do not expose the FJ-CP1 to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in

direct sunlight before entering the water.

Chemicals

•Do not expose the FJ-CP1 to volatile chemicals or their vapors. Failure to observe

this precaution could result in damage to the case.

•Do not use chemical detergents, rust inhibitors, thinner, alcohol, or other volatile

chemicals when cleaning the case. Wash in fresh water only.

•Use only desiccants designated for use with this product (see page 19).

•Do not use sealants or anti-fog chemicals.

•Do not handle the FJ-CP1 after applying sunscreen. Sunscreen can damage the

clear plastic parts of the case.

•Do not apply stickers to the FJ-CP1, as the adhesive could cause the case to dete-

riorate.

Travelling by Air

If possible, include the FJ-CP1 in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air.

When packing the FJ-CP1 with checked luggage, leave the case open or remove

the seal. If the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the product or

prevent the case from opening.

High Altitudes

When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize

the pressure. If the case is kept sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the

case or prevent the case from opening.
