Replacing The Date Battery - Canon PowerShot G3 User Manual

Replacing the Date Battery

If the Set Date/Time menu appears when you turn on the camera power, the date
battery charge is low and the date and time settings have been lost. Please replace the
battery with a generic CR2016 lithium coin battery with the following procedures.
Please note that the first date battery may appear to expire relatively quickly after
you purchase the camera. This is because it is installed in the camera at the point of
manufacture, not when you make the purchase.
• Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of the reach of children. Seek
medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery since corrosive battery
fluids could damage the stomach or intestinal wall.
