Areas of Use and Restrictions

The following actions may be punishable under law. Disassembling or modifying the

transmitter, or removing the certification label on it.

Do not use the transmitter near other devices that emit radio waves, such as medical

equipment or electronic devices. The transmitter may interfere with operation of these

devices.

Use the transmitter only with a compatible EOS DIGITAL camera. Using it with incompatible

cameras may cause malfunction, accidents, and other problems not covered under

warranty.

Use the transmitter as a wireless or wired LAN device as described in this instruction

manual. If you use the transmitter for any other purpose, Canon cannot be held liable for

any loss or damage that may occur.

COPY

The following precautions are intended to prevent harm to you and others as well as damage to

equipment. Become familiar with the precautions before using the transmitter to ensure correct

and safe operation.

Be sure that you fully understand the safety precautions contained in the instruction manuals

for the battery, charger, and AC Adapter Kit before using them.

To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, or explosion, follow these safety guidelines.

• Do not insert metallic objects between electrical contacts of the transmitter, accessories, or connecting cables.

Do not use the transmitter where there is flammable gas. There is a risk of explosion or fire.

If the transmitter is dropped and internal parts are exposed, do not touch the exposed parts. There is a risk of

electrical shock.

Do not disassemble or modify the transmitter. High-voltage internal parts may cause electrical shock.

Do not store the transmitter in dusty or humid places. There is a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Before using the transmitter on board airplanes or in hospitals, make sure use is permitted. Electromagnetic

waves emitted by the transmitter may interfere with instrumentation or medical equipment.

Do not leave the transmitter inside a vehicle in hot weather or near a heat source. The transmitter may become

hot and cause burns if touched.

Do not cover or wrap the transmitter with a cloth. This may trap heat inside, posing a risk of case deformation or

fire.

Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the transmitter. This poses a risk of fire and

may be hazardous to your health.

If the product malfunctions, becomes damaged, or requires repair, contact your dealer

or the nearest Canon Service Center.

The transmitter is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to shock.

The transmitter is not waterproof. Do not use it underwater.

Wipe off any moisture with a clean, dry cloth. If the transmitter has been exposed to salty air,

wipe it with a clean damp cloth after wringing it out to remove excess water.

Never leave the transmitter near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field,

such as magnets or electric motors.

Do not leave the transmitter in excessive heat, such as in a vehicle in direct sunlight. High

temperature may damage the transmitter.

Do not wipe the transmitter using cleaners containing organic solvents. If the transmitter

becomes difficult to clean, take it to the nearest Canon Service Center.

To avoid corrosion, do not store the transmitter where there are strong chemicals, such as in

darkrooms or chemical labs.
