Canon EOS 300 D - Manual (Page 9)

Handling Precautions
• Do not press hard on an LCD display or subject it to impacts, as this can cause
display flaws and damage.
• If an LCD display becomes soiled, clean it with a commercially available blower
brush, or wipe it with a soft cloth, taking care not to scratch the screen. If an LCD
display becomes extremely soiled, consult your nearest Canon dealer.
• By their nature, LCD displays react more slowly at low temperatures, and may
appear dark at high temperatures. The display will return to normal at room
temperature.
Lithium Battery for the Date and Time
O store lithium batteries out of reach of small children. The chemicals in these
batteries are very dangerous if the battery is accidentally swallowed. If this happens,
seek medical attention at once.
• Do not use metal instruments such as pliers to hold the battery, or you could cause a
short circuit.
• Do not disassemble or heat the battery, or you could rupture it.
CF Card
• The CF card is a precision device. Do not drop CF cards or expose them to
vibrations. Doing so could lose the images recorded on them.
© Do not store or use CF cards near objects that generate magnetic fields, such as
TVs, speakers, or magnets, or in locations affected by static electricity. Doing so
could lose the images recorded on the CF card.
• Do not place CF cards in direct sunlight or close to heating appliances. Doing so can
distort the cards and make them unusable.
@ Do not spill liquids onto CF cards.
• Always store your CF cards in a case or cabinet to protect the data stored on them.
• Non-Canon CF cards may not be able to record and playback images. If this
happens, use a CF card made by Canon.
• Do not bend CF cards, or subject them to strong impacts.
• Do not store CF cards in hot, dusty, or humid locations, or in locations exposed to
static electricity or magnetic fields.
Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens
caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid
