Safety Precautions
Warnings: Follow the warnings below. Otherwise, death or

Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed.
Electromagnetic waves emitted by the W-E1 may interfere with the plane’s
instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.
Cautions: Follow the cautions below. Otherwise, physical injury
or property damage may result.
Keep the W-E1 out of the reach of children and infants. If a child or infant swallows it,
consult a physician immediately.
Do not touch the contacts with your fingers or metal objects. Do not expose the
contacts to dust or water. If a smudge adheres to the contacts, communication
failure may result.
The W-E1’s wireless functions may not work when the camera is hot, such as
immediately after prolonged movie shooting. Use the wireless functions after
the camera cools down.
If the wireless functions are used for a prolonged period, the W-E1 may
become hot due to excessive heat in the camera. When removing the W-E1,
set the camera’s power switch to <2>, then wait until the camera cools
down.
To prevent damage to the W-E1, note the following:
• Do not drop, bend, or wet it. Do not subject it to excessive force, physical shock, or
vibration.
• Do not affix any stickers, etc., on it.
• Do not store or use it near anything that has a strong magnetic field, such as a TV
set, speakers, or magnets. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.
• Do not leave it in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
• Store it in a case, etc.
• Do not store it in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
