Safety Precautions

• Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its internal components may be damaged.
• Do not store the product in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not open the battery cover while an image is being recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored on the SD card.
