Handling the Camera and Battery

• CAUTION – Do not expose to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like, that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas during use, storage or transportation or disposal.
• CAUTION – Do not dispose of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crush or cut the battery, as this may result in an explosion.
• CAUTION – Do not subject to extremely low air pressure at high altitude that may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

Camera Care

1. Do not open the film door until all film exposures have been used, doing so will prematurely expose the remaining film and render it unusable.
2. Your camera is a fragile object. Do not expose it to water, sand or gritty materials.
3. Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or other similar electronic products. These straps are usually too weak to hold your camera securely. For safety, only use straps designed for your camera, and use only as specifically intended and instructed.
4. Do not use solvent such as thinner or alcohol to remove dirt.
5. Do not leave your camera in direct sunlight or hot places such as the inside of a car. Do not leave the camera in damp places for prolonged periods.
6. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene may affect your camera and prints. Take care to keep your camera and prints in a safe, dry place.
7. Note that the temperature range within which your camera can be used is +5°C to +40°C.
8. Take great care to ensure that printed materials do not violate copyright, image rights, privacy or other personal rights and do not offend public decency. Actions that violate the rights of others, are contrary to public decency or constitute a nuisance may be punishable by law or otherwise legally actionable.

Handling the LCD Screen

• As the LCD Screen can be easily scratched or damaged by sharp or solid objects, we recommend you attach a protective sheet (commercially available) onto the LCD Screen.

Charging the Battery

• The battery has not been charged during manufacture. Please charge the battery fully before first use.
• Charge the battery using the supplied USB-C cable.
  Charging times will increase at ambient temperatures below +10°C or above +35°C. Do not attempt to charge the battery at temperatures above +40°C or at temperatures below +5°C as the battery will not charge.

Battery Life

• At normal temperatures, the battery can be recharged about 300 times. A noticeable decrease in the length of time the battery will hold a charge indicates that it has reached the end of its service life.

Caution: Handling the Battery

The battery and camera body may become warm to the touch after extended use. This is normal.

• Certification marks are located inside the film chamber.
• Cautions During Printing
• “instax mini” Film and Print Care
• See FUJIFILM Instant Film “instax mini” packaging for film use instructions. Follow all instructions for safe and proper use.
• Keep the film in a cool place. Do not leave the film in a place where the temperature is extremely high (e.g., in a closed car) for many hours.
• Do not puncture, tear, or cut the film. If film becomes damaged, do not use.
• When you load a film pack, use the film as soon as possible.
• If the film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low, bring it to room temperature before starting to print pictures.
• Be sure to use the film before the expiration or “Use Before” date.
• Avoid airport checked luggage scanning and other strong X-ray exposure. The effect of fogging, etc. may appear on unused film. We recommend that you carry the camera and/ or the film onto the aircraft as carry-on luggage. (Check with each airport for more information.)
• Avoid strong light, and keep the developed prints in a cool and dry place.
• Do not puncture or cut the film as it contains a small amount of caustic paste (high alkaline). Never let children or animals put the film into their mouth. Also ensure that the paste does not come into contact with skin or clothes.
• Should the paste inside the film comes into contact with skin or clothes, immediately wash off with plenty of water. If the paste comes into contact with the eyes or mouth, immediately wash the area with plenty of water and contact a doctor. Note that the alkaline inside the film remains active for about 10 minutes after the picture has been printed.
• Cautions on Handling the Film and Prints
• For details, refer to the instructions and warnings on the packaging of the FUJIFILM Instant Film “instax mini”.
