• Should you notice that the charger is emitting smoke, heat, or an unusual noise or smell, immediately cease use and unplug the charger from the power outlet, and then contact an authorized distributor or service center.

• Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it.

  • Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fi re or burn your hands.

• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. This may cause overheating, exploding, burning, electrical shocks, or malfunctions.

• 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 fi re. Do not use the charger if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fi re.

• Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low temperature burn.

  • When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
  • When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
  • In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera’s body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.

• The camera uses a lithium-ion battery specifi ed by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specifi ed charger. Do not use any other chargers.

• Never incinerate or heat batteries in microwaves, on hot plates, or in pressure vessels, etc.

• Never leave the camera on or near electromagnetic devices. This may cause overheating, burning, or exploding.

• Do not connect terminals with any metallic objects.

• Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, keys, etc. The short circuit may cause overheating, exploding, or burning, which burn or damage you.

FCC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipmentand receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• Only the OLYMPUS-supplied USB cable should be used to connect the camera to USB enabled personal computers.

FCC/ISED Caution

Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or equipment except Olympus wireless equipment whose RF exposure was evaluated for this equipment. For the latest information, please visit the Olympus website.

Website:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio freqhttps://cs.olympus- imaging.jp/en/support/imsg/ digicamera/download/notice/rfsimullist.cfmuency (RF) Exposure Guidelines as this equipment has very low levels of RF energy.

The available scientifi c evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such fi ndings have not been confi rmed by additional research. IM006 has been tested and found to comply with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
