stove or humidifier. This may cause a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not leave this camera in a location subject to extremely high temperatures, such as in a
sealed vehicle or in direct sunlight. Exposure to high temperatures may adversely affect the
camera case and internal components and may cause a fire.
Do not cover or wrap the camera or AC power adapter with a cloth or quilt. This may cause
heat to build up and distort the camera case and cause a fire. Always use the camera and
accessories in well-ventilated locations.
Handle the camera carefully and do not expose the camera to shock or vibration. Handling the
camera roughly may cause a malfunction.
When handling and moving the camera, always unplug it from the power source (if you are
using an AC power adapter).  Unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet after you have
disconnected the camera. Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock.
Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your camera.  Use of unsuitable
batteries may result in the batteries splitting, or leaking  that may cause a fire, injury, or soiling
of the battery compartment.
When placing the batteries into the camera, check the polarity markings on the batteries ( - and
+ ) to ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly. Incorrect battery polarity will result in
camera inoperability and may result in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire,
injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.
Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of time. The batteries
may leak and cause a fire, injury or soiling of the battery compartment. If the batteries leak,
clean and wipe the battery compartment carefully and install new batteries.  Wash your hands
carefully if you touch the battery fluid.
