Safety precautions

Grounding, Polarization — If this product can be used with a specified AC adapter, the

adapter may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug with one

blade wider than the other). This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet

only one way. If you cannot insert the plug into the wall outlet, pull it out, reverse it, and

then reinsert it. If the plug still fails to fit, contact an electricalian and have the receptacle

replaced.

Protecting the Power Cord — The power supply cord should be placed so it will not be

walked on. Never put a heavy object on the power cord or wrap it around the leg of a

table or chair. Keep the area around the power cord connection points, at the power

outlet, and at the product connection, free of all AC adapter or accessory power cords.

Lightning — If a lightning storm occurs while using a specified AC adapter, remove it

from the wall outlet immediately. To avoid damage from unexpected power surges,

always unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and disconnect it from the camera

when the camera is not in use.

En

Overloading — Never overload wall outlets, extension cords, power strips, or other

power connection points with too many plugs.
