SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 DO NOT use the camera or accessories near water. Avoid ex-

posing your camera to moisture. The unit is not waterproof,

so contact with water could cause permanent damage to the

unit as well as electric shock and serious injury to the user. DO

NOT use the camera in the rain or under other conditions with

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 elec-

tric shock, do not expose the camera to

rain or moisture.

 DO NOT expose the DSMC to laser beams, as laser beams may

damage the sensor.

 DO NOT expose your camera to excessive vibration or impact

(shock). Be careful not to drop your camera. Internal mecha-

nisms may be damaged by severe shock. Mechanical alignment

of optical elements may be affected by excessive vibration.

 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE: The use of devices us-

ing radio or other communication waves may result in the mal-

function or interference with the unit and/or with audio and

video signals.

 Clean only using a dry cloth. When cleaning your camera, re-

member 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 sub-

stances may damage lens coatings and electronic circuitry.

 Maintain sufficient ventilation—DO NOT block any ventilation

openings or obstruct cooling fan airflow.

CAUTION: Proper camera ventilation re-

quires 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 ex-

haust ports do not impede airflow. Failure

to permit adequate airflow may result in

overheating of the camera, degraded op-

eration and in extreme situations, damage

to the camera.

 DO NOT operate or store near any heat sources such as radia-

tors, heat registers, stoves, or any other apparatus that pro-

duce heat. Store in a protected, level and ventilated place.

Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, damp, severe vibra-

tion, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or local heat sourc-

es during storage. Remove any batteries from the camera be-

fore storage. Recommended storage and usage temperatures

for your camera, lenses and other accessories are:

‒ Operating range: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)

‒ Storage range: –20°C to 50°C (–4°F to 122°F)

If there are any performance issues with your camera or acces-

sories when operating within this temperature range, please file

a support ticket on support.red.com.

 The DSMC 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 turned on. Before

installing or removing any of these accessories, you MUST turn

off the camera. Failure to do so may result in damage to the

accessory and/or camera BRAIN that will not be covered under

warranty.

 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 connec-

tion. If the grounding-type plug does not fit into your outlet,

do not attempt to modify the plug or outlet, consult a qualified

electrician.

 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.

CAUTION: The power cord plug for the AC

Power Adapter is used as the power dis-

connect. To disconnect all power from the

AC Power Adapter, unplug the power cord

plug from the wall outlet. During use, the

power cord plug should remain easily ac-

cessible at all times.

 Lithium Ion batteries may be subject to special handling re-

quirements pursuant to federal and local laws. Please refer to

specific shipping instructions included with your battery re-

garding proper transport of your battery. DO NOT handle your

battery if it is damaged or leaking. Disposal of batteries must

be in accordance with local environmental regulations. For

example, California law requires that all rechargeable batter-

ies must be recycled by an authorized recycle center. Storing

batteries fully charged or in high temperature, conditions may

permanently reduce the life of the battery. Available battery

capacity may also be temporarily lessened after storage in low

temperature conditions.

WARNING: DO NOT expose the battery to

excessive heat.

WARNING: Danger of explosion if an incor-

rect battery is charged with the RED Char-

ger or is used to power the camera and

accessories. Replace only with the same

or equivalent type battery.

CAUTION: Refer all service and repair to

qualified RED service personnel. To reduce

the risk of electric shock, and damage to

the camera or accessories, DO NOT at-

tempt to perform any servicing other than

any procedures that are recommended in

the operating instructions.
