• The unit is not guaranteed waterproof if struck, dropped, placed un-
der heavy objects, or otherwise subjected to strong pressure or violent
physical shocks or vibration. If the unit does suff er a fall or other physical
shock, take it to Nikon-authorized service personnel and have it tested
to make sure that it is still waterproof. Note that a fee will be charged
for this service.
• Damage due to user error is not covered under warranty.
Operating Environment
❚❚
The unit has been tested and approved for use at water temperatures be-
tween 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Note the following precautions:
• At low temperatures, the fl ash may not perform as expected immedi-
ately after being turned on and battery performance may drop. Keep the
unit warm, or ready spare batteries and keep them in a warm location.
• In cold environments, remove any snow or rain immediately. The con-
trols may become diffi cult to operate if allowed to freeze.
• Prolonged contact with cold metal can damage exposed skin. Wear
gloves when handling the unit for extended periods at low tempera-
tures.
• Select a dry location when replacing batteries, and avoid leaving the unit
with the battery holder removed in humid locations. Failure to observe
these precautions could result in condensation forming inside the unit
when it is taken into the water. Any condensation should dissipate if
the unit is fi rst taken to a location with a stable temperature—free from
heat, humidity, sand, and dust— and then turned off and left with the
battery holder removed until it has reached the ambient temperature.
