disposal�

• CAUTION - Do not dispose of a battery into fire or a hot oven� Do

not mechanically crush or cut the battery� This can result in an

explosion�

• CAUTION - Do not subject to extremely low air pressure at high

altitude, this may result in an explosion or the leakage of

flammable liquid or gas�

Camera care

• Your camera is a fragile object� Do not expose it to water, sand or

gritty materials�

• Do not use solvent such as thinner or alcohol to remove dirt�

• Do not leave your camera in direct sunlight or hot places such as

the inside of a car� Do not leave the camera in damp places for

prolonged periods�

• Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene may affect your camera

and prints� Take care to keep your camera and prints in a safe,

dry place�

For customers in the USA:

FCC ID : W2Z-03000011

FCC Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules�

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device

must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation�

For more information, access the website below�

https://instax�com/pal/en/spec/

CAUTION

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules�

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation�

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications�

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in

a particular installation�

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television, which can be determined by turning the product off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna�

• Increase the separation between the product and receiver�

• Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected�

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help�

FCC CAUTION

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Fujifilm

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment�

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter�

Radiation Exposure Statement

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to

radio waves� This device is designed and manufactured not to

exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)

energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U�S�

Government�

The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as

the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR� The SAR limit set by the FCC

is 1�6 W/kg� Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating

positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its

highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands�

Notes on the Grant

To comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, this product must be

used with a Fujifilm-specified USB Type-C cable�

For customers in CANADA:

IC : 7736B-03000010

ISED statement:

This device complies with Innovation, Science and Economic

Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s)� Operation is

subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference, including

interference that may cause undesired operation of the device�

CAUTION:

CAN ICES-003 (B)/NMB-003 (B)

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003�

Radiation Exposure Statement

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health

problems are associated with using low power wireless devices�

There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices

are absolutely safe� Low power wireless devices emit low levels of

radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being

used� Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by

heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce

heating effects causes no known adverse health effects�

Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any

biological effects� Some studies have suggested that some

biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been

confirmed by additional research� This device has been tested and

found to comply with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for

an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio

frequency (RF) exposure rules�
