Installation
Power Sources : This video product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization: This video product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fi t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fi t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Alternate Warnings: This video product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fi t into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.
Ventilation : Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation, to ensure the reliable operation of the video product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video product on
a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to. This video product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
Attachments: Do not use attachments not recommended by the video product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Water and Moisture : Do not use this video product near water—for
example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Power-Cord Protection: Power-supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.
Accessories: Do not place this video product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding : If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Power Lines : An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Cleaning: Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Object and Liquid Entry : Never push objects of any kind into this video
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a fi re or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the video product
Lightning: For added protection for this video product receiver during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and
power-line surges.

The Battery and Power Supply
Note: Check the type of battery used in your camera and read the
appropriate sections.
WARNING: Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,
fire or the like. The following describes the proper use of batteries and how
to prolong their life. Incorrect use can shorten battery life or cause
leakage, overheating, fi re, or explosion.
Li-ion Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery.
The battery is not charged at shipment. Charge the battery before use. Keep
the battery in its case when not in use.
Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use. Charge the battery one
or two days before use. Battery life can be extended by turning the camera off
when not in use.
Battery capacity decreases at low temperatures; a depleted battery may not
function when cold. Keep a fully charged spare battery in a warm place and
exchange as necessary, or keep the battery in your pocket or other warm place
and insert it in the camera only when shooting. Do not place the battery in
direct contact with hand warmers or other heating devices.
charging the Battery
The battery can be charged using the camera and supplied AC adapter or an optional BC-W235 dual battery charger. Charging times will increase at ambient temperatures below+10 °C (+50 °F) or above +35 °C (+95 °F). Do not attempt to charge the battery at temperatures above +40 °C (+104 °F); at temperatures below +5 °C (+41 °F), the battery will not charge.
Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged battery. The battery does not however need to be fully discharged before charging.
The battery may be warm to the touch immediately after charging or use. This is normal.
Battery Life
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 and should be replaced. If the battery is left for long periods without charging, you may fi nd that its quality degrades or that it no longer holds a charge. Charge the battery regularly.
Storage
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, store it at room
temperature with the battery charged to approximately one-half to 2⁄3
capacity.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and
store it in a dry place with an ambient temperature of from +15 °C to +25 °C
(+59 °F to +77 °F). Do not store in locations exposed to extremes of
temperature.
Cautions: Handling the Battery
