Caring for the Products
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings of “For Your Safety” (Avi to ix) and
“<Important> Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation, GPS“ (Axi to
xvii) thoroughly before using the products.
B Do Not Allow Damp to Enter Inside the Camera
The COOLPIX AW110 is provided with JIS/IEC protection class 8 (IPX8) equivalent waterproofing. If
water seeps inside the camera, however, this could cause the components to rust and result in a
high repair charge or the camera may not be repairable. After using the camera at the beach or
underwater, make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed, and then
immerse the camera in a shallow container filled with fresh water for ten minutes. After using the
camera underwater, do not leave the camera wet for 60 minutes or more. This could cause
deterioration of the waterproofing performance.
B Prevent Water from Seeping Inside the Camera
If the inside of the camera becomes wet, this could result in camera malfunction and the camera
may not be repairable. To prevent water seeping (water submersion) accidents, be sure to observe
the following cautions when using the camera.
• When the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is closed, make sure that the camera strap,
hair, lint, dust, sand grains, other foreign substances, or dirt are not attached on the waterproofing
packing and portions that make a contact with the waterproofing packing.
• Do not open and close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover in areas exposed to water
spray, high winds, dust or sand.
• When an external force is applied on the camera, it could become deformed or the airtight seals
may become damaged and cause water to seep inside the camera. Do not place a heavy object
on the camera, drop the camera, or apply excessive force on the camera.
• If water seeps inside the camera, immediately stop using the camera. Wipe off moisture from the
camera, and at once take the camera to your Nikon-authorized service representative.
B Shock and Vibration
Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it at a water surface.
Do not leave the camera in an area subject to vibration. If the camera is subjected to excessive shock,
this could result in camera malfunction or damage.
B Maximum Depth
The COOLPIX AW110 is designed to withstand water pressure up to a depth of 18 m (59 ft) for
approximately 60 minutes. At greater depth, water could seep inside the camera, resulting in camera
malfunction.
