Warranty Policy
All cameras distributed through authorized reputable photographic distribution channels are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase. Repairs will be provided and defective parts replaced free of charge during this period, provided that the camera shows no signs of impact, damage from sand or liquids, mishandling, fraudulent manipulation, battery corrosion or chemical corrosion, use contrary to the operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives are not liable except for repairs or modifications made with their written consent and are not liable for damages caused by delay or non-use or any other indirect damages of any kind, whether resulting from defects in materials, workmanship, or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the manufacturer's or its representatives' liability under all warranties, express or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as stipulated above. Expenses incurred for repairs at unauthorized service centers will not be reimbursed.
Procedure During the 12-Month Warranty Period
Any camera found to be defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned to the distributor from whom it was purchased or to the manufacturer. If there are no manufacturer representatives in your country, send the camera to the manufacturer with prepaid shipping charges. In this case, it will take a considerable amount of time for the camera to be returned to you due to complicated customs procedures. If the camera is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the camera will be returned to you upon completion of repairs. If the camera is not covered by warranty, the standard rates of the manufacturer or its representatives will apply. Shipping costs are borne by the owner. If the camera was purchased outside the country where you wish it to be repaired during the warranty period, handling and repair fees of that country's manufacturer representatives may be imposed. However, the camera returned to the manufacturer will be repaired free of charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping costs and customs duties are borne by the shipper. To prove the date of purchase, keep the receipt or invoice for the camera purchase for at least one year. Before sending the camera for repair, be sure to send it to the manufacturer's authorized representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you send it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quote for repair costs and only after accepting the offer, instruct the service center to begin the repair.
- This warranty policy does not affect the customer's legal rights.
- Our distributors' local warranty policies in some countries may supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you review the warranty card provided with the product at the time of purchase or contact our distributor in your country for more information and to obtain a copy of the warranty policy.

Available scientific information does not indicate any health problem associated with the use of low-power wireless devices. However, there is no evidence that these low-power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low-power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range during use. While high RF levels can affect health (by heating tissue), exposure to low RF levels that do not produce a heating effect does not cause any known adverse health effects. Many studies on low RF exposure have not detected any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but these findings have not been confirmed by further research. The R02010 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits established for an uncontrolled environment and complies with FCC Radio Frequency (RF) exposure regulations.
