Follow these guidelines when using your Vivicam: 
n Keep camera away from the following: 
· High temperatures and excessive humidity        
· Direct sunlight or other heat sources 
· Dust 
· Extreme vibration 
n Do not use camera outdoors if it is raining or snowing. 
n If the lens or the viewfinder becomes dirty, clean them 
with a lens brush or soft, clean cloth. Never touch the  
lens with your fingers. 
n If water or a foreign substance should get in the 
camera, turn the camera off immediately and remove 
the batteries. 
n Do not open the camera case or attempt your own  
repairs. High-voltage internal components may create 
risk of electrical shock or fire. 
n Do not open the battery compartment when the camera  
power is on. 
n Transfer important images to your computer as soon  
as possible to avoid losing image data.
