device other than this camera.
— Never use or leave the battery near open flame.
— Never place the battery in a microwave oven, throw
it into fire, or otherwise expose it to intense heat.
— Make sure the battery is oriented correctly when you
load it into the camera or attach it to the charger
unit.
— Never carry or store the battery together with items
that can conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead,

way, or expose it to strong impact.
— Do not immerse the battery in fresh water or salt
water.

sunlight, in an automobile parked in the sun, or in
any other area subject to high temperatures.
• Should you ever notice leakage, strange odor, heat
generation, discoloration, deformation, or any other
abnormal condition while using, charging, or storing a
battery, immediately remove it from the camera or
charger unit and keep it away from open flame.
• If the battery does not achieve full charge after the
normal charging time has passed, stop charging.

fluid get into your eyes accidentally, immediately rinse
them with clean tap water and then consult a physician.

clothing or your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean
tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can
cause skin irritation.
