About this manual

Every effort has been made to ensure that the contents of this manual are correct and up to date. However, no guarantee is made regarding the accuracy of the contents. If the contents of this manual do not tally with the camera, please take the camera as a criterion, and our company reserves the right to change the contents or technical rules without notice in advance.

Precautions

General precautions

  • Do not use or store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its components may be damaged.
  • Do not store the product in a hot environment. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
  • Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside, which may damage the electronic circuits.
  • Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.
  • Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may damage the internal components.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft cloth.
  • Do not fire the white LED light while it is too close to the subject's eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. When using the white LED light, the camera should be at least one meter from the eyes of the subject.
  • Do not open 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 in file.
  • If the product or any of its accessories are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center. The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the product to be repaired.

• Test for proper operation before using the camera.

Notes on the LCD Screen

Be very careful to ensure the fluid contained in the LCD screen does not escape if the screen becomes cracked or damaged. If this occurs, follow these steps:

  • If the fluids make contact with skin, wipe it with a clean cloth then rinse with a large amount of water.
  • If the fluid makes contact with eyes, wash eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and go to the hospital as soon as possible.
  • If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse mouth with water, then drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Operation conditions

• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0irc C to 40irc C ( 32irc F to 104irc F).
- Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas:
- In areas subject to direct sunlight
- In areas subject to high humidity or dust
- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to temperature extremes
- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun.
- In areas subject to strong vibration

Power supply

- Use only the type of battery that came with your camera. Using any other type of battery may damage the equipment and invalidate the warranty.

  • Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly can cause damage to the product and possibly start a fire.
  • Remove the battery to avoid the fluid leakage if the camera is not going to be used for a long time.
    • If the battery is crushed or damaged, remove it immediately to avoid the battery fluid leakage and abnormal expansion.

IMPORTANT

The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted, if a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : NEUTRAL

Brown : LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the earth symbol 12 or coloured green or green and yellow.

Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a rewretable plug already fitted, which may be removed if not suitable and an alternative fitted in accordance with the preceding instructions.
