Canon EOS A2E - Manual (Page 13)

Precautions
1) This camera is not resistant to water
and should not be used outdoors in snow
or rain. If accidentally dropped in water,
contact an authorized Canon service fa­
cility. Keep the camera out of salt spray
and protect it from excessive humidity. If
used at the beach, clean it thoroughly
afterward with a dry cloth.
2) Do not attempt to disassemble the camera
yourself. Always take it to an authorized
Canon service facility for repair.
3) Remove the battery if you do not expect to
use the camera for about three weeks or
longer.
4) When storing the camera, wrap it in a
clean, soft cloth and place it in a cool, dry,
dust-free place. Be sure to keep the
camera out of direct sunlight, and away
from “hot spots” such as the trunk or rear
window shelf of a car. Avoid places where
moth balls are used, and in extreme hu­
midity, use a desiccant.
5) Carefully check the camera's operation
after lengthy storage.
