• Keep the camera dry. Precipitation, humidity, and other liquids contain minerals will corrode electronic circuits.
  • Do not use or store in dusty, dirty areas.
• Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store in very cold areas. When the system warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside the case, which may damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the case. Non-expert handling of the device may damage the system.
• Avoid dropping or strong shocks.
• Operate this product using only with the power supply included or provided as an accessory.
• Do not overload electrical outlets or extension cords this can result in fire or electric shocks.
