6 Introduction

❙Do not store the camera or its optional accessories near

sources of bright light, direct sunlight, high humidity,

heat, excessive dirt or dust, or where they will be

exposed to strong vibrations or magnetic fields.

❙Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can cause

moisture to condense on the camera. Keep the camera

in a case or bag if you need to move it from a cold

environment to a warm one. Allow time for the

camera and its optional accessories to adjust to

temperature changes before using them.

❙Use only the types of power sources listed in this User’s

Guide.

❙Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord.

❙If you use an extension cord with the optional AC

adapter, make sure the total ampere rating of the

devices plugged into the extension cord does not

exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the

total of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not

exceed 15 amperes.

❙Remove batteries and/or unplug the camera and the

AC adapter and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions: If the power

cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the

camera; if the camera has been dropped or its exterior

has been damaged; if the camera or its optional

accessories do not operate normally or exhibit a

distinct change in performance.

❙Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions.

❙If the liquid crystal solution contained in the camera’s

control panel or in the screen on the optional EPSON

photo LCD Monitor leaks out and gets on your hands,

wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets

in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

If you plan to use the camera and its optional accessories in

Germany, observe the following:

❙To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-

current protection for the products, the building

installation must be protected by a 16 amp circuit

breaker.

❙Bei Anschluß des Produkts an die Stromversorgung

muß sichergestellt werden, daß die Gebädeinstallation

mit einem 16 A-Überstromschalter abgesichert ist.
