the screen.
•
 
When charging is finished in about four hours (at room temperature), 
[] will no longer be displayed.
•
 
SELPHY
  can be used even while [
] is blinking by turning it on 
(=  11 ). However, charging stops. When the power is turned off, 
[] blinks and charging resumes.
• For battery precautions, refer to the battery user manual.
•  When [] is displayed, place SELPHY in an environment at operating 
temperature (=  62), and charge once it has adjusted to the ambient 
temperature.
•
 
When [] is displayed in red, the battery has reached the end of its life. 
Please purchase a new battery.
•
 
When [] is displayed, press and hold any button other than the < q>

Security Precautions
Because Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions\
 
more stringent than when using a LAN cable are required.
Keep the following points in mind when using Wi-Fi.
• 
Use only networks you are authorized to use.  
This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays th\
e 
results on the screen. 

 
Networks you are not authorized to use (unknown networks) may also 
be displayed. However, attempting to connect to or using such networks 
could be regarded as unauthorized access. Be sure to use only networks 
you are authorized to use, and do not attempt to connect to other 
unknown networks.
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems \
may 
occur.
•
 
T
 ransmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor Wi-Fi transmissions and \
attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
•
 
Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the \
network you are using to steal, modify

, or destroy information.
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access 
such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain 
access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where 
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to 
cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly \
secure your Wi-Fi network.
Only use this product’s Wi-Fi function with a proper understanding of 
Wi-Fi security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting security 
settings.
