Safety Precautions

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

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.
