Digital SLR Scavenger Hunt
Three tips that I found surprising:
1. Avoid Contact with liquid crystal.
Should the monitor break,care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth
2. CD-ROMs
CD-ROMs containing software or the manuals should not be played back on audio CD equipment. Playing CD-ROMs on an audio CD player could cause hearing loss or damage the equipment.
3. Do not use in the presence of flammable gas
Do not use electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas as this could result in explosion or fire.
