i The camera may become warm during use.  
A low temperature burn may result if you hold the hot part  
for a long time.  
h They may get hurt by the camera or other devices.  
k Do not disassemble or modify  
i It is dangerous to touch the inside of the devices. Doing so  
may cause a fire or electric shock.  
i The camera, especially, incorporates high-voltage circuits.  
i Any internal check, setting, or repair should be performed

i Temperature when using: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)  
i Do not use the battery pack near fire or inside a car exposed to the hot  
sun, etc. (Locations in which the temperature reaches 60°C [140°F] or  
higher.)  
i At high temperatures, the safety mechanisms and protective devices inside  
the battery pack may be damaged by corrosion, causing an abnormal  
chemical reaction to occur, or cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode,  
leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the safety mechanisms and  
protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will become unusable.  
i An environment with extremely high or low temperatures will cause the  
battery capacity to deteriorate and shorten the usable time, and may even  
shorten the battery life.  
i Avoid storing the battery pack with it near full charge. It is recommended to  
store the battery pack when it is near fully discharged.  
i If the battery pack is completely discharged, it may become unable to be  
recharged again. To avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least five  
minutes every six months.  
k General precautions concerning the batteries (when using alkaline  
batteries)  
i Use only alkaline batteries or other specified batteries in this camera.  
Manganese batteries cannot be used, as they have a short battery life  
and may overheat, causing damage to the digital camera.  
i Use of an alkaline battery together with a Ni-Cd battery, or a new battery with  
an old or consumed battery, may generate heat or cause the batteries to leak,  
resulting in fire, injury or burns, or damage to the camera and any other  
nearby object.  
i Use of batteries without protective casings or other inferior products may  
cause a fire, injury, or burns.  
i Do not attempt to recharge dry-cell batteries.  
i If the digital camera is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove  
the batteries and store them in a cool place. (When the batteries are removed  
for a long period, the time and date settings will be cleared.)  
i If using rechargeable batteries instead of alkaline batteries, use after fully  
recharging with the exclusive battery charger. Be sure to read and  
understand the instruction manuals that may come with the batteries you  
purchase, as well as the instruction manual for the battery charger, before  
use.  
i Storage temperature: –10 to 30°C (14 to 86°F)  
When not using the battery pack, remove it from the camera and store at –10  
to 30°C (14 to 86°F) in a place with no condensation.  
i Do not keep in a place where the temperature reaches 45°C (113°F) or  
higher.  
i Humidity: 10 to 90% (no condensation)  
FOR CORRECT USE OF YOUR CAMERA  
k Cautions before capturing important images  
k Cautions concerning condensation  
i Before capturing important images, make sure that the camera is operating  
properly and in condition to capture the images properly.  
i Sanyo Electric shall not be held responsible for any losses that result from  
images that could not be recorded, are erased, destroyed, or damaged in  
any way due to a problem with the camera, any of its accessories, or its  
software.  
i Using the camera with condensation inside it may damage the camera.  
If condensation seems likely to form  
i Place the camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the camera  
has reached the ambient temperature.  
Be careful of condensation under the following conditions  
i When moving the camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm place.  
i When the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater is  
turned on to quickly heat the room.  
i When the camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air conditioner.  
i When the camera is placed in a location of high humidity.  
k Caution concerning copyrights  
i The images you capture with your camera are for your own private use; any  
other use may violate the rights of copyrights owners.  
i Please note that photography may be restricted at stage performances,  
shows or exhibitions, even in presentations whose purpose is entertaining or  
amusing individuals.  
k Caution concerning undesired interference  
i Also note that images that are intended to be copyrighted cannot be used  
outside those limits defined by the regulations of the relevant copyright laws.  
i The camera may create undesired interference if used close to a television or  
radio. To avoid this type of interference, make sure the cores on the supplied  
cables are not removed.

CAUTION  
i Do not use benzene or thinner products to clean the camera. Doing so may  
cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling. When using a chemically  
treated cloth, carefully read its instructions and warnings.  
i Do not spray insecticides or volatile sprays on the camera. Do not let rubber  
or vinyl objects contact the camera for a long period. They may cause  
deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.  
k Caution concerning magnetism (for cameras with a speaker)  
i Do not place credit cards, bank cards, floppy disks, or other items that may be  
damaged by magnetic fields near the speaker. Data may be lost or the  
magnetic strips on cards may be damaged.  
i Wipe the monitor with a soft cloth that has been moistened with water and  
well wrung out. Wiping with a cloth soaked with a cleaning substance or  
chemicals will erode the finish or cause it to peel.  
k Cautions concerning data storage  
i It is recommended that any important data be copied onto a separate media  
(such as a hard disk, MO disk, or CD-R disk).  
i Stored data may be lost (or corrupted) in cases such as those listed below.  
i Sanyo Electric will not be held responsible for any damage or lost profits  
arising from the loss of data.  
k Caution concerning the battery pack  
i Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the battery pack.  
Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will allow  
contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize,  
increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the  
usable life of the batteries will diminish.  
h If the card is used incorrectly.  
h If the card is not inserted correctly into the camera.  
h If the card is subjected to electrical or mechanical shocks or other forces.  
h If the card is removed from the camera or if the camera is turned off during  
reading or writing operations.  
k Caution when cleaning the lens  
i If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning  
cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.  
h If the card has reached the end of its usable life.
