high moisture without appropriate protection, and immediately remove power source if camera or

accessories are exposed to moisture.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the camera or accessories to

rain or moisture.

J. DO NOT expose your camera to excessive vibration or impact (shock). Be careful not to drop your

camera. Internal mechanisms may be damaged by severe shock. Mechanical alignment of optical

elements may be affected by excessive vibration.

K. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE: The use of devices using radio or other communication

waves may result in the malfunction or interference with the unit and/or with audio and video signals.

L. Clean only using a dry cloth. When cleaning your camera, remember that it is not waterproof and

moisture can damage electronic circuitry. DO NOT rinse or immerse any element of the camera, lens

or other accessory, keep them dry at all times. DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline

cleaners, and abrasive cleaning compounds or solvents. These substances may damage lens

coatings and electronic circuitry.

M. Maintain sufficient ventilation - DO NOT block any ventilation openings or obstruct cooling fan airflow.

CAUTION: Proper camera ventilation requires a minimum 1/2” (1,25cm) clearance between the

camera ventilation openings and external surfaces. Verify that objects that can block the fan intake

and exhaust ports do not impede airflow. Failure to permit adequate airflow may result in

overheating of the camera, degraded operation and in extreme situations, damage to the camera.

N. DO NOT operate or store near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other

apparatus that produce heat. Store in a protected, level and ventilated place. Avoid exposure to

temperature extremes, damp, severe vibration, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or local heat

sources during storage. Remove any batteries from the camera before storage. Recommended

storage and usage temperatures for your camera, lenses and other accessories are:

a. Operating range: 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F)

o Storage range: -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to 122°F)

If there are any performance issues with your camera or accessories when operating within this

temperature range, please file a support ticket on www.RED.com/support.

O. The Side Handle, Side SSD Module, Rear Modules and Lens Mount are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE –

meaning you cannot remove or install them while the camera is powered on. Before installing or

removing any of these accessories, you MUST power down the camera. Failure to do so may result in

damage to the accessory and / or camera brain that will not be covered under warranty.

P. Do not bypass the third prong of the grounding-type plug on the power cord of the AC Power

Adapter. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third “grounding” prong. The third prong is

provided for your safety. A grounding-type plug shall be connected to an outlet with a protective

earthen connection. If the grounding-type plug does not fit into your outlet, do not attempt to modify

the plug or outlet, consult a qualified electrician.

Q. Protect all power cords from being pinched, walked on or driven over by a vehicle. Replace any power

cords suspected of sustaining damage due to crushing or other forms physical damage.
