2. Consignes de sécurité

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to the device.

• Do not point the camera directly at extremely high-intensity energy sources, such as the sun or lasers, as this may damage the infrared detector.
• Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to severe impact, despite its robust design.
• Do not immerse the device in water or other liquids. While it has an IP65 rating for dust and water jet protection, it is not designed for submersion.
• Use only the specified charging cable (USB-C) and power adapter to charge the device.
• Ne tentez pas de démonter ou de modifier l'appareil photo. Les réparations doivent être effectuées uniquement par un personnel de service agréé.
• Veillez à ce que la lentille reste propre et exempte de poussière et de débris. Utilisez un chiffon doux non pelucheux pour la nettoyer.
• Operate the device within the specified environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).
