2. Safety Information
WARNING - GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is a professional photography auxiliary accessory, designed exclusively for use with compatible cameras, lenses, or imaging equipment. It is not a standalone electronic device or toy. Improper installation, overloading, use with incompatible gear, or disregard of these safety instructions may result in severe equipment damage (e.g., camera/lens fall, lens scratch), personal injury (e.g., cuts, impact wounds), or property loss. All safety guidelines must be followed to ensure safe and effective use.
DANGER - Risk of Equipment Damage & Personal Injury:
- For mounting accessories (Tripod/Bracket/Battery Grip): Always confirm the accessory's maximum load capacity before use. Do not exceed the specified limit (e.g., "Max Load: 5kg")—overloading or loose installation will cause the camera/lens to fall, resulting in breakage or injury. Tighten all fasteners fully and test stability before use.
- For electronic accessories (Battery Grip/Charging Cable/Flash Trigger): Never use damaged, frayed, or modified cables/connectors. Avoid exposure to water, rain, or high-humidity environments (e.g., bathrooms, rainstorms) to prevent short circuits, electric shock, or battery leakage. Discontinue use immediately if the accessory overheats or emits an odor.
- Choking Hazard: Small components (mounting screws, adapter caps, battery compartment covers, tiny connectors) are included. Keep the product and all accessories away from children under 3 years old and pets. If any small part is swallowed, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
CAUTION - Installation Safety:
- Follow the camera/lens manufacturer's user manual to ensure proper compatibility. Align interfaces correctly (e.g., tripod 1/4" thread with camera bottom socket; filter thread with lens rim) and do not force installation—this will strip threads, damage ports, or scratch optical surfaces.
- For adjustable accessories (Tripod Legs/Monopod/Extension Rod): Lock all joints, knobs, or latches securely before placing equipment. Gently shake the setup to verify stability; re-tighten if loose.
CAUTION - Material & Usage Protection:
- For optical accessories (Lens Filter/Flash Diffuser): Avoid dropping, hitting, or touching optical surfaces with bare hands. Fingerprints, scratches, or smudges will degrade image quality. Use only professional lens cleaning tools.
- Keep all accessories away from heat sources (direct sunlight for >6 hours, camera hot shoes, heaters, stoves) to prevent material deformation, melting (plastic parts), or optical coating damage (filters).
- Compatibility Restrictions: Do not use with cameras/lenses/equipment that exceed the accessory's size, weight, or interface specifications. Verify compatibility (lens diameter, thread size, mount type) before purchase or use.
CAUTION - Electronic Accessory Safety:
- For battery-powered accessories: Use only the specified battery type (e.g., "LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium Battery"). Do not mix old/new batteries or different chemistries (alkaline vs. lithium).
- Disconnect electronic accessories from power/camera before cleaning, storing, or replacing components to avoid short circuits.
