and disconnect a specified AC adapter (if attached). Allow the camera to sit
idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and
carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery with bare hands, which may cause a fire
or burn your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center immediately.
੬ Do not use the camera with wet hands.
● To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. Also, do
not connect or disconnect the power plug with wet hands.
੬ Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high
temperatures.
● Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch
fire. Do not use the cradle or AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause
overheating, resulting in fire.
੬ Be careful with the strap.
● Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects

and
cause serious damage.
੬ Use only the AC adapter specified by Olympus.
● Never use any AC adapter except one specified by Olympus. Using a different AC adapter may
damage the camera or power source, or result in accidents or fire. Ensure the adapter used is
designed for your region or country. For more information, contact the nearest Olympus service
center or the store of purchase. Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any
damages caused by AC adapters not recommended by Olympus.
੬ Do not damage the power-supply cord.
● Never pull or modify the power-supply cord. Make sure only the plug is securely held during
insertion and removal from the outlet.
Stop using the camera immediately, and contact the nearest Olympus service center or the store
of purchase if:
– The power-supply cord becomes hot, or it gives off smoke or unusual odors.
– The power-supply cord is cut or damaged, or the plug has a faulty contact.
● To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the camera in the
places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
– Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through extreme changes.
Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or
humidifiers.
– In sandy or dusty environments.
– Near flammable items or explosives.
– In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain.
– In places prone to strong vibrations.
● Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
● When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist
the camera.
● Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
● Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens damage, color failure,
ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
● Condensation may form inside the camera when there is a sudden extreme change in
temperature (such as when moving from indoors to outdoors). Acclimatize the camera to the
temperature (e.g. by putting the camera into the plastic bag) before use.
