Ac Power Adapter - FujiFilm FinePix A203 Owner's Manual

Notes on the Power Supply
put the batteries in your pocket or a similar place to
warm them before loading them into the camera. If you
use a body warmer to warm the batteries, ensure that
they are not in direct contact with the warmer.
h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can
markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully
wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before
loading the batteries.
If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the
battery compartment thoroughly and then load new
batteries.
If any battery fluid comes into contact with your
hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly with
water. Note that battery fluid can cause loss of
eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do
not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean
water and contact your physician for treatment.
■ Disposing of Batteries
When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with
your local waste disposal regulations.
■ Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-
MH batteries)
h Always use the special battery charger to charge AA-
size Ni-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as
described in the instructions provided with the battery
charger.
110
h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries
other than those specified for use with the charger.
h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately
after being charged.
h Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure
to charge the batteries before using them.
h The camera mechanism is such that it draws a
minute amount of current even when the camera is
switched off. Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH
batteries in the camera for a long period of time as
they can become excessively discharged and may no
longer be usable even when charged.
h Ni-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used.
Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If
the time for which a battery provides power shortens
markedly when it has been correctly charged, this
indicates that the battery has reached the end of its
effective life and should be replaced.
h Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH
batteries can greatly reduce the number of available
shots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefully
with a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining
charge in the batteries and recharge them.
h Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have
been left unused for an extended period may not be
fully charged (This is indicated by the immediate
display of the battery low warning or a low number of
available shots). This is a normal characteristic of the
batteries and does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly
charging and using the batteries 3 times or 4 times
will restore them to a normal condition.
h If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH battery before it is
fully discharged, it will suffer from the "memory
✽
effect" , causing the battery low warning to appear
while there is still ample charge remaining in the
battery. To restore the batteries to their normal
condition, use up all the charge in the batteries before
recharging them.
✽ Memory effect: A phenomenon affecting the battery
characteristics such that the apparent
battery capacity decreases.
