Handling Precautions - Canon Digital IXUS 300 User Manual

Handling Precautions

• Do not rapidly overturn or wave the battery charger around when the
battery pack is in it. There is a danger of the battery pack flying out.
• At low temperatures, the battery pack performance may be reduced
and the low battery icon may appear earlier than usual. Under these
conditions, resuscitate the battery pack by warming it in a pocket
immediately before use. However, ensure that there are no metallic
items in the pocket that could cause the battery pack to short circuit,
such as key holders, etc.
• Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or
cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging. Heat will
build up and could result in a fire.
• Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack NB-1L in this charger.
• The battery pack continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power
while installed in the camera, even with the camera power off or
inserted into the battery charger. This will shorten battery life. To
conserve the battery pack, store it in its case in a cool, dry place.
Recharge it fully before using it again.
• If the performance of the battery pack diminishes substantially even
when it is fully charged, the battery pack should be replaced.
