BATTERY HANDLING

This camera uses four AA alkaline batteries, AA nickel
metal hydride batteries or AA NiCd batteries.
(Olympus brand AA nickel metal hydride batteries are
recommended.)
Do not use AA manganese batteries or AA lithium
batteries. Besides shortening battery life, manganese
batteries may overheat and damage the camera.
Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use of batteries
can cause fluid leak, heat generation, or other
damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load
them correctly.
The batteries may be temporarily disabled when
exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera
and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold
environment. Batteries that are weak in cold
temperatures will be restored under normal
temperatures.
Sweat, oil, and so on, can prevent a battery's
terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid this,
wipe both terminals before loading the battery.
Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long
trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to
obtain abroad.
When using nickel metal hydride batteries or NiCd
batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the
correct battery charger.
Read instructions carefully before handling nickel
metal hydride batteries or NiCd batteries.
