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 the specified AC adapter,
unplug 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.
Overloading — Never overload wall outlets, extension cords, power strips, or
other power connection points with too many plugs.

electrical shock from contact with internal high voltage points, never insert a
metal object into the product. Avoid using the product where there is a danger
of spillage.

heat register, stove, or any type of equipment or appliance that generates heat,
including stereo amplifiers.
Servicing — Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Attempting to remove the
covers or disassemble the product, could expose you to dangerous high
voltage points.

recommended by the manufacturer. Unauthorized substitution of parts could
result in fire, electrical shock, or create other hazards.
Safety Check — Upon completion of servicing or repairs, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in good
