LAMAX X10 Taurus

Safety Precautions

1. Do not drop or subject the camera to severe impact and avoid anything which may it cause physical damage.
2. Do not place the camera near objects that generate magnetic fields, such as magnets or electric motors. Do not place the camera too close to objects that emit powerful radio waves, such as antennas. Strong magnetics fields or radio waves may cause damage to the camera or corrupt the captured video and audio recordings.
3. Do not expose the camera to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
4. Use only high-quality microSDHC and SDXC cards with a speed index of at least Class 10 UHS-I U1. For shooting at a resolution of 4K at 30 fps (fps = frames per second) and 720p at 240 fps we recommend using UHS-I U3 cards. Slower cards may limit the functionality of the camera and it may not be able to record in all modes and at all resolutions.
5. Do not place the microSD card near magnetic fields or in places where static electricity may occur. This will prevent any accidental loss of data.
6. If the device overheats, produces smoke or a suspicious odour whilst charging, immediately unplug the device and stop charging.
7. When charging, keep the camera out of reach of children. Power cord may cause electric shock or strangulation. Do not charge unattended.
8. Store the camera in a cool dry dust-free environment.
