    For Your Safety
    Introduction
    Observe caution when han-
    dling the battery
    The battery may leak or explode if
    improperly handled. Observe the
    following precautions when han-
    dling the battery for use in this
    product:
    • Before replacing the battery, turn the product off. If you are using
    the AC adapter, be sure it is
    unplugged.
    •
    Only use a Rechargeable Li-ion Bat-
    tery EN-EL10 (supplied). Charge the
    battery by inserting it in a Battery
    Charger MH-63 (supplied).
    • When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside
    down or backwards.
    • Do not short or disassemble the battery or attempt to remove or
    break the battery insulation or
    casing.
    • Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.
    • Do not immerse in or expose to water.
    • Replace the terminal cover when transporting the  battery. Do not
    transport or store with metal
    objects such as necklaces or hair-
    pins.
    • The battery is prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid
    damage to the product, be sure
    to remove the battery when no
    charge remains.
    • Discontinue use immediately should you notice any change in the battery, such as discoloration
    or deformation.
    • If liquid from the damaged bat- tery comes in contact with cloth-
    ing or skin, rinse immediately with
    plenty of water.
    Observe the following pre-
    cautions when handling the
    battery charger
    • Keep dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or
    electric shock.
    • Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug should be removed with
    a dry cloth. Continued use could
    result in fire.
    • Do not handle the power cable or go near the battery charger dur-
    ing thunderstorms. Failure to
    observe this precaution could
    result in electric shock.
    • Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or bend the power cable,
    place it under heavy objects, or
    expose it to heat or flame. Should
    the insulation be damaged and
    the wires become exposed, take it
    to a Nikon-authorized service rep-
    resentative for inspection. Failure
    to observe these precautions
    could result in fire or electric
    shock.

    For Your Safety
    Introduction
    • Do not handle the plug or batterycharger with wet hands. Failure to
    observe this precaution could
    result in electric shock.
    Use appropriate cables
    When connecting cables to the
    input and output jacks, use only the
    cables provided or sold by Nikon for
    the purpose, to maintain compli-
    ance with product regulations.
    Handle moving parts with
    care
    Be careful that your  fingers or other
    objects are not pinched by the lens
    cover or other moving parts.
    CD-ROMs
    The CD-ROMs supplied with this
    device should not be played back on
    audio CD equipment. Playing CD-
    ROMs on an audio CD player could
    cause hearing loss or damage the
    equipment.
    Observe caution when using
    the flash
    Using the flash close to your sub-
    ject’s eyes could cause temporary
    visual impairment. Particular care
    should be observed if photograph-
    ing infants, when the flash should
    be no less than one meter (39 in.)
    from the subject. Do not operate the flash
    with the flash window
    touching a person or object
    Failure to observe this precaution
    could result in burns or fire.
    Avoid contact with liquid
    crystal
    Should the monitor break, care
    should be taken to avoid injury
    caused by broken glass and to pre-
    vent liquid crystal from the monitor
    touching the skin or entering the
    eyes or mouth.
