6 Important Safety Notice
Please read and observe the following notes carefully!
You must not take the camera apart, modify or repair it.
Never open the casing of the camera or the adapter; they do not contain serviceable parts!
Opening the casing increases the risk of death by electric shock.
If the camera has been dropped, or the casing has been damaged, switch the device off.
Note on isolation from supply: If the camera is connected via the mains adapter, the On/Off
switch does not completely isolate the device from the mains supply. In order to completely
isolate the device from the electricity supply, you must remove the plug from the socket. For this
reason, the camera should be set up in such a way that unhindered access to the mains socket
is available, and that the plug can, in case of an emergency, be removed immediately. To
eliminate the risk of fire, the plug should always be removed from the socket before a long
period without use, such as during a holiday. Isolate the camera from the mains supply before
storms or thunderstorms, in which there is a risk of lightning.
Take caution with the power cable: Only ever touch the power cable at the plug. Do not pull on
the cable itself, and never touch the power cable with wet hands, as this can cause a short
circuit or electric shock. Do not place either the device or pieces of furniture on the power cable,
and ensure that it is never jammed. Never get the power cable in a knot, or interconnect it with
other cables. The power cable should be positioned in such a way that nobody stands on it. A
damaged power cable can cause fire or electric shock. Check the power cable from time to
time. Should it be damaged, contact your nearest authorized customer service centre or your
dealer to get it replaced.
Keep your camera and, in particular, the accessories out of reach of children. Never allow
children to use electrical devices unsupervised. Children cannot always correctly identify
danger. Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Keep the batteries out of reach of young children. If
a battery has been swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. Packaging foil must also
be kept away from children. This could cause suffocation.
The camera and its components must not be exposed to dripping or splashed water. In addition,
no objects or containers that are filled with liquid, such as vases or glasses, must be placed on
the camera. Take particular care in rain, snow, on the beach, or near to water.
Do not use the camera in areas with high levels of humidity, moisture, smoke or dust.
Do not leave the camera in places where the temperature can rise dramatically (such as in a
vehicle). This could damage the casing and the internal components, and could cause fire.
Ensure that the camera is not too close to any direct heat sources (such as radiators) or
magnetic fields (such as loud speakers), and that it is not placed in direct sunlight for any
lengthy periods of time.
Do not place any naked flames (such as candles) or objects filled with liquid (such as vases) on
or next to the camera.
Only place the camera on stable surfaces. Otherwise the camera could fall or topple over and
cause injuries or be damaged. Do not allow the camera to fall or bang into things, and handle it
carefully.
Ensure that the display is not exposed to any impact. This could damage the glass in the
monitor or the liquid could leak out. If the liquid gets in your eyes, on your skin or on clothes,
you must wash it off immediately with clean water. If the liquid gets in your eyes, seek medical
assistance immediately.
Do not turn the camera volume up too high. This could damage your hearing.
Be particularly careful in potentially dangerous situations (such as when driving, cycling, or
jogging), or temporarily stop using the headphones. If your headphones are designed to allow
you to hear external noise, you should still only ever set the volume loud enough so that you do
not block out external noises.
We advise against using headphones when driving a car or other vehicle. Please drive carefully
and cautiously. If you notice that the device distracts you when driving, turn it off.
A risk of explosion exists if the batteries are not replaced properly. Read the Important
