Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10K Operating Instructions Manual page 133

∫ Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery.
Its ability to generate power comes from
the chemical reaction that takes place
inside it. This reaction is susceptible to
the surrounding temperature and
humidity. If the temperature is too high
or too low, the operating time of the
battery will become shorter.
After use, be sure to remove the battery.
Bring charged spare batteries when
going out.
• Be aware that the operating time of the
battery becomes shorter in low
temperature conditions such as at a ski
resort.
• When you travel, do not forget to bring the
charger (supplied) so that you can charge
the battery in the country that you are
traveling in.
If you drop the battery accidentally,
check to see if the body of the battery
and the terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the
camera will damage the camera.
Dispose of unusable battery.
• Batteries have a limited life.
• Do not throw batteries into fire because it
may cause an explosion.
Do not allow battery terminals to come
into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins etc.).
• This can cause short circuiting or heat
generation and you may be badly burned
if you touch a battery.
∫ Charger
• If you use the battery charger near a
radio, the radio reception may be
disturbed.
• Keep the charger 1 m or more away from
radio.
• When the charger is in use, it may
generate whirring sounds. However, this is
not a malfunction.
• After use, be sure to disconnect the AC
cable from the electrical outlet. (A
maximum of about 0.1 W is used if you
leave it connected.)
• Keep the terminal of the charger clean.
∫ Card
Do not leave the card where the
temperature is high, where
electromagnetic waves or static
electricity are easily generated or
exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not bend or drop the card.
• The card may be damaged or the
recorded content may be damaged or
deleted.
• Put the card in the card case or the
storage bag after use and when storing or
carrying the card.
• Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into
the terminals on the back of the card and
do not touch the terminals with your
fingers.
∫ When not using the camera for a long
period of time
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15 oC to 25 oC,
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
• Always remove the battery and the card
from the camera.
• If the battery is left inserted in the camera,
it will discharge even if the camera is
turned off. If the battery continues to be
left in the camera, it will discharge
excessively and may become unusable
even if charged.
