General Maintenance and Safety

Using Headphones Safely

  • Set the volume to the lowest level before you begin listening, then carefully adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

  • Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level. Although a volume level is comfortable, it might still damage your hearing.

  • Do not listen at high-volume levels; extended high-volume listening can cause permanent hearing loss.
  • Do not turn up the volume during a quiet musical passage; you might damage your hearing when a sudden, loud passage occurs.

  • Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or while riding a bicycle; this can create a safety hazard and is illegal in some areas. Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear outside sounds, they still present a safety hazard.

Using Batteries Safely

  • Keep batteries away from children.

  • Discard used batteries according to applicable local and national regulations. Utilize established community battery recycling programs where available.

  • Kodak recommends KODAK PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries or KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries.

  • If you elect to use alkaline batteries in the mc3 device, you will obtain better performance from "photo-flash grade" alkaline batteries, such as KODAK PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries. These types of batteries last more than twice as long in digital applications as ordinary alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable; do not attempt to recharge them in a battery charger.

  • Remove the batteries when the device is stored for long periods of time.

  • Always follow the battery manufacturer's directions fully. Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.

  • Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be mixed with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline or Ni-MH types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of batteries. Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their possibility of leakage.

  • NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL. Battery life depends significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and device. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, Ni-MH rechargeable batteries delivered outstanding results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices, such as digital devices, and do not exhibit the "memory" effects seen with other rechargeable technologies.

  • In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately wash the contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Customers inside the U.S. can contact Kodak Health, Safety, and Environment Information at 1-585-722-5151. Customers outside the U.S. should contact their local health care provider.

  • In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the device, U.S. customers can contact the Kodak Information Center at 1-800-242-2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer Service representative.

Maintaining the mc3 Device

  • Avoid exposing the mc3 device to moisture or extreme temperatures.

  • Clean the outside of the device by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleansers or organic solvents on the device or any of its parts.

  • Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come in contact with the surface of the device.

Cleaning the Lens and LCD Screen

Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not wipe the lens or LCD screen with chemically treated eyeglass lens tissue as it may scratch the lens.

  1. Blow gently on the lens or LCD screen to remove dust and dirt.
  2. Moisten the lens or LCD screen by breathing lightly on it.
  3. Wipe the lens or LCD screen gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue.
