Appendix 173 Warnings Equipment z Do not point the camera directly at the sun or bright light sources. Doing so could damage the camera's CCD or your eyesight. z Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage by a child could result in serious injury. • Wrist strap: Placement of the strap around the child’s neck could result in asphyxiation. • Memory card: It may be swallowed accidentally. If this occurs, contact a doctor immediately.
174 Appendix Equipment z Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzine, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment. z Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. z Use only recommended power accessories. z Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area. z Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet.
Appendix 175 Battery z When recharging the Canon AA-size NiMH batteries, use only a specified battery charger. z The compact power adapter is designed for exclusive use with this equipment. Do not use it with other products. There is a risk of overheating and distortion which could result in fire or electrical shock. z Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects.
176 Appendix Cautions Equipment z Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap. z Do not store or use the equipment in humid or dusty areas. z During shooting, do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to contact the charger terminals or plug. Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
Appendix 177 Flash z Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface of the flash. z Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash. z Do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Doing so could result in burns.
178 Appendix Battery Handling Battery Charge The following icon and message will display. The battery indicator blinks green. Battery charge is low. If using the camera for an extended period, replace the batteries as soon as possible. Change the batteries Batteries are depleted and the camera can no longer operate.

Appendix 179 z Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. If the battery terminals are soiled with oil from one’s skin or other dirt, the number of recordable images may be considerably diminished, or the amount of time the camera can be used may be reduced. z At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the low battery icon ( ) may appear earlier than usual.
180 Appendix Handling the Memory Card SD memory card or SDHC memory card Write Protect Tab Write Protect Tab Slide the tab up. Writing/Erasing Possible Slide the tab down (you can protect the images and other data on the memory card) Writing/Erasing Impossible Cautions When Handling z Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration. z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
Appendix 181 Formatting z Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card erases all data, including protected images. z You are recommended to use memory cards that have been formatted in your camera. • The memory card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting. • When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem.
182 Appendix Using the Power Kits (Sold Separately) Using Rechargeable Batteries (Battery and Charger Kit CBK4-300) This kit includes a battery charger and four rechargeable AA-size NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries.
