• CR-V3, AA lithium batteries and AA alkaline batteries are not rechargeable.
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the batteries while the power is on.
• Remove the batteries when you will not use the camera for a long while. The
battery may leak.
• If the date and time settings have been reset when you insert new batteries
after a long while, follow the procedure for "Setting the Date and Time". (p.35)
• Insert batteries correctly. Batteries inserted incorrectly may cause a camera
breakdown.
