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.

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 –
