This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide 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/ television technician for help.

CAUTIONS

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Nikon Corporation may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Interface Cables

Use the interface cables sold or provided by Nikon for your equipment. Using other interface cables may exceed the limits of Class B Part 15 of the FCC rules.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

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 to 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. This Wireless Transmitter (WT-3A) has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the Wireless Transmitter (WT-3A) have been shown to be 0.2W / kg at head.

This equipment complies with both FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. When the Wireless Transmitter is connected with the WA-E1 extended range antenna, it is considered as a mobile radiator and should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. This device should not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.

Notice for Customers in the State of California, U.S.A.
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Notices for Customers in Canada

CAUTION: This class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations.

RSS-GEN Exposure of Humans to RF Fields

This equipment complies with both FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. When the Wireless Transmitter is connected with the WA-E1 extended range antenna, it is considered as a mobile radiator and should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's website at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This device has been designed to operate with the antenna listed below, and having a maximum gain of 3.0dB . Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 3.0dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

• The WA-E1 extended range antenna (available separately)

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

Notice for Customers in Europe

Hereby, Nikon, declares that this digital camera is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

Glossary

Ad-hoc: Devices in an ad-hoc wireless network communicate directly ("peer to peer"), without a wireless access point.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An encryption standard developed for use by the American government. AES has been praised for combining strong encryption with rapid processing.

Auto IP (APIA—Automatic Private IP Addressing): Allows devices in a network to automatically assign themselves unique IP addresses if no DHCP server is found on the network. Auto IP uses addresses from 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. These addresses are neither global nor private but are reserved for Auto IP.

BSS-ID (Basic Service Set ID): All wireless devices on an ad-hoc wireless network share the same BSS-ID. The BSS-ID may be up to thirty-two characters long and is case sensitive. See also Ad-hoc.

Channel: When multiple wireless LANs with different ESS-IDs are operating on a single frequency within a given area, transmission speeds will drop. Specifying a separate channel (frequency) for each network can prevent interference and increase transmission speeds (note that all devices in the same network must be set to the same channel). In the IEEE 802.11b/g standard, the 2.4 GHz band is divided into 14 channels, each separated by 4 MHz.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server: Each device in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address. If a DHCP server is present on the network, IP addresses will be assigned automatically.

DNS (Domain Name Server): A server that contains a database of IP addresses and host names for the machines it administers and that converts host names to IP addresses in response to queries from clients. Each DNS can also query other Domain Name Servers for addresses not listed in its database.

ESS-ID (Extended Service Set ID): Multiple BSSs can be configured to form an ESS, allowing users to roam between wireless access points. Only devices with the same ESS-ID as a given access point can communicate with that access point. The ESS-ID may be up to thirty-two characters long and is case sensitive.

Ethernet: The name given to the IEEE 802.3 LAN standard. Devices in an Ethernet network are connected via UTP cables for transmission speeds of up to 10 Mbps (10 base-T) or 100 Mbps (100 base-TX).

Gateway: A network node that acts as an entrance to another network, for example between a company network and the Internet.

IIS (Internet Information Services): Microsoft's name for its Web server software. Notable for its close connection to Windows-based systems through Active Server Pages (ASPs). When installed as part of the operating system, IIS makes it relatively easy to build web a server.

Infrastructure: Devices in an infrastructure network communicate via wireless access points that may be connected to an Ethernet network, allowing wireless and Ethernet devices to coexist on a single network.

IP address: The address given to each node in a TCP/IP network. All nodes in a TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. Private IP addresses are recommended for nodes that are part of a local network.

Key index: A number identifying which WEP key is to be used for encryption when communicating via an access point with more than one WEP key. All devices on the network must use the same key index.

LAN (Local Area Network): A network of computers located in relatively close proximity to one another. LANs generally support data transfer speeds of 10-100 Mbps.

MAC (Media Access Control) Address: A unique hardware address for each device on a network, required when sending and receiving packets.

Open system: The name given to a wireless network using no authentication (open authentication). Open systems are relatively insecure, as a password is not required to gain access to the server.

PASV mode: PASV mode is used by clients behind firewalls, when it allows the ftp server to supply the port number.

Private IP address: An IP address that is only visible within a local network. Because packets using a private IP address can not be transmitted to another network, they are usually sent between networks via a proxy server or NAT. Private IP addresses in the range 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 are termed "class A." Class B addresses are in the range 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255, class C addresses in the range 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255. The class of address used depends on the size of the network. Class C addresses are often used for small networks.

Protocol: A set of rules for passing information back and forth between devices in a network. By defining such elements of communication as how links are established, how receipt of a signal is acknowledged, how data are encoded, and how to handle errors, a protocol ensures that data are transmitted without loss of information.

Proxy: A server that stands between large networks and local networks or computers, typically to ensure security. One element of a firewall.

PTP-IP (Picture Transfer Protocol over Internet Protocol): A commonly used name for the CIPA DC-005-2005 image transfer protocol for transmitting images over LANs. It represents an extension to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) used to transfer images between cameras and computers connected via USB cable. The WT-3 uses PTP-IP to communicate with host computers.

Shared key: An authentication system in which WEP keys are used to establish whether a client has access to the network. Communication is restricted to devices with the same WEP key.

SS-ID (Service Set ID): An SS-ID prevents interference between devices in different networks by allowing communication only between devices that share an SS-ID. See BSS-ID, ESS-ID.

Subnet mask: A mask that divides a network into subnets.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): A dual protocol consisting of a transport-layer protocol (TCP) that divides data into packets which it later reassembles, and a network protocol (IP) that handles transmission of the packets between points in the network. It can be implemented on different platforms, allowing data to be transmitted between machines with different operating systems.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol): An encryption standard using dynamic WPA-PSK keys that change periodically or after a specified amount of data have been transmitted, making it more secure than WEP, which uses fixed keys.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol): A fast but unreliable transport layer transmission protocol using the OSI model.

USB (Universal Serial Bus): A standard for connecting peripheral devices. USB supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0). Devices connected via USB can be connected and disconnected with the power on ("hot plug") and do not require separate IRQ (interrupt request) numbers, preventing conflicts with other devices.

WAN (Wide Area Network): A network connecting computers or LANs in widely separated locations. The Internet is an example of a WAN.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): A type of encryption in which the data transmitted between devices is encoded using a shared encryption key (WEP key).

Wireless LAN access point: A wireless transceiver that acts as the connection between wireless devices and a wireless network.

WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key): A type of authentication for wireless networks using previously-established (pre-shared) TKIP or AES keys. Wireless devices using this form of authentication can only communicate with devices with the same pre-shared key.

Battery Life

The number of shots that can be taken with a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery (1500mAh) varies with the condition of the batteries, temperature, and how the camera and WT-3 are used. The following measurements were performed at a temperature of 20^ (68^) both with the WT-3 off and while uploading photographs to a Windows XP Professional SP2 computer using

Auto send.

Example 1

Network	None (WT-3 off)	Wireless (802.11g, infrastructure mode)	Ethernet (100 base-TX)
No. of shots	1600	1000	1100
Camera settings	Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 70-200 mm f/2.8G IF ED lens (VR off); continuous high-speed shooting mode; continuous-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Basic; image size set to M; shutter speed 1/250 s; shutter-release pressed halfway for three seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times with each shot; after six shots, monitor turned on for five seconds and then turned off; cycle repeated after eight seconds.

Example 2

Network	None (WT-3 off)	Wireless (802.11g, infrastructure mode)	Ethernet (100 base-TX)
No. of shots	300	200	210
Camera settings	Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF ED lens (VR off); single-frame shooting mode; single-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Normal; image size set to L; shutter speed 1/250s; shutter-release pressed halfway for five seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range once with each shot; built-in Speedlight fired at full power with every other shot; AF-assist illuminator lights when Speedlight is used; cycle repeated after eight seconds; camera turned off for one minute after ten photographs have been transferred.

The following can reduce battery life:
- Using the monitor
- Repeated autofocus operations
- Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway
- Taking NEF (RAW) photographs
- Slow shutter speeds

To ensure maximum battery performance:

• Keep the battery contacts clean. Soiled contacts can reduce battery performance.
• Use EN-EL3e batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left unused.

The battery level displayed by the camera may vary with changes in temperature.
