Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters•

and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing

the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or

improperly installing batteries and memory cards can

damage ports, connectors, and accessories.

Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s•

compartments, slots, or access points. This type of

damage may not be covered by your warranty.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from

damage

Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very•

cold or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or

above 40° C/104° F). Extreme temperatures can

reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and

can cause memory cards to malfunction.

Prevent memory cards from making contact with•

liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the

memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting

in your camera.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with

care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.•

Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious

injuries or damage to your camera.

Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating•

devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or

radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.

Cautions

Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly

Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can•

cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera

with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can

void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty,•

humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage

to moving parts and internal components.
