A Warning (English)
Important Safety and Product Information
For more detailed information on camera features and settings, please see the user
manual for this product online at gopro.com/support.
To prevent damage to your GoPro camera or injury to yourself or others, read the
following safety precautions in their entirety before using your camera.
A
A
Exercise caution when using your GoPro camera as part of your active lifestyle.
Always be aware of your surroundings to avoid injury to yourself and others.
Observe proper precautions when handling batteries. Batteries may leak or
explode if products with batteries are improperly handled.
Observe the following precautions to avoid a battery explosion or fire:
• Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave,
incinerate or paint the camera.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening on the camera.
• Do not use the camera or the battery if it has been damaged-for example,
if cracked, punctured or harmed by water.
• Do not turn on your camera if it is wet. If your camera is already on, turn it off and
remove the battery immediately. Allow the camera to dry thoroughly before using
it again.
• Do not dry camera or battery with an external heat source such as a microwave oven
or hair dryer.
• Do not store your battery with metal objects, such as coins, keys or necklaces. If the
battery terminals come in contact with metal objects, this may cause a fire.
• Keep dry. The camera housing protects the camera and battery from water damage.
Always secure the camera in its housing when using the camera in or near water. Do
not get the camera or the battery wet. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
fire or electric shock. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact with liquid is
not covered under the warranty.
Your camera may have a built-in battery and/or housing, so some of the above warnings
may not apply to your camera.
When charging, do not handle the plug or charger with wet hands. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
Using a wall charger other than a Go Pro Wall Charger can damage the Go Pro
battery and could result in fire or leakage. Only use chargers marked: Output 5V
1 A. If you do not know the voltage and current of your charger, use the included
USB cable to charge the camera from your computer.
If using your camera with a Go Pro helmet mount, always select a helmet
that meets the applicable safety standard. Choose the right helmet for your
particular sport or activity and make sure that it is the right fit and size for you.
Inspect your helmet to ensure that it is in good condition and follow the helmet
manufacturer's instructions on safe helmet use. Any helmet that has sustained
a major impact should be replaced. No helmet can protect against injury in
every accident.
Your GoPro camera lens is glass. Should the lens break, care should be taken
to avoid injury due to broken glass. Keep out of reach of children.
If your Go Pro camera is a HER04 Black: The HER04 Black features unique
high-performance video modes: 4K30/24, 4K24 SuperView, 2.7K48/50, 2.7K30
SuperView, 2.7K4:3, 1440p80, 1080p120/90, 960p120 and 720p120. When using
these video modes, it is normal for the camera to become warm and use more
power.
Using these high-performance modes in higher temperatures decreases camera recording
time. In addition, lack of airflow around the camera, using the camera with the Go Pro App,
or in combination with BacPac accessories further increases camera temperature and
power consumption, and decreases camera recording time.
If the camera gets too hot, a message appears on the screen indicating that the camera is
shutting down. The camera stops recording, saves your video, disconnects from the Go Pro
App, and powers off. If this happens, let your camera sit and cool before attempting to use
it again.
For extended recording time in high-performance video modes, capture shorter video clips
when in stationary use, and/or limit your use of features that increase power consumption,
such as the Go Pro App or BacPac accessories. To control your camera remotely at higher
temperatures, use the Go Pro remote instead of the Go Pro App.
NOTICES
Avoid exposing your camera and battery to very cold or very hot temperatures. Low or
high temperature conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the camera
to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity
when using the camera, as condensation may form on or within the camera.
Abide by all local laws when using this camera. There may be laws in your jurisdiction
related to the use of the camera in a particular way. Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
a video camera as an attachment to certain equipment, such as a firearm, or in a particular
manner, such as the use of the camera as an invasion of privacy.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device has been designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure
to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States,
Industry Canada (I C) and the European Union and other countries.
The exposure standards for wireless devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg averaged over
1 gram of tissue. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union
is 2.0W/kg averaged over any 10 grams of tissue.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC and IC is 1.496 W/kg for
CHDHE-301; 0.60 W/kg for CHDHN-302; 0.85 W/kg for CHDHX-302; 0.887 W/kg for HWPP1
and 0.424 W/kg for HWBD1.
The FCC and IC have granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on file with the FCC and IC, and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC 10: CNFCHDHE301,
CNFCHDHN302, CNFHWPP1, CNFHWBD1 and under the Industry Canada Radio Equipment
List database http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/sitt!reltel/srch/nwRdSrch.do?lang=eng after
searching 10193A-CHDHE301, 10193A-CHDHN302, 10193A-HWPP1 and 10193A-HWBD1.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods
and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
