CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE BATTERY
General precautions concerning the
■
batteries (when using alkaline
batteries)
• Use only alkaline batteries or other
specified batteries in this camera.
Manganese batteries cannot be used, as
they have a short battery life and may
overheat, causing damage to the digital
camera.
• Use of an alkaline battery together with a
Ni-Cd battery, or a new battery with an old or
consumed battery, may generate heat or
cause the batteries to leak, resulting in fire,
injury or burns, or damage to the camera and
any other nearby object.
• Use of batteries without protective casings or
other inferior products may cause a fire, injury,
or burns.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry-cell batteries.
• If the digital camera is not going to be used
for a long period of time, remove the batteries
and store them in a cool place. (When the
batteries are removed for a long period, the
time and date settings will be cleared.)
• If using rechargeable batteries instead of
alkaline batteries, use after fully recharging
with the exclusive battery charger. Be sure to
read and understand the instruction manuals
that may come with the batteries you
purchase, as well as the instruction manual
for the battery charger, before use.
Cautions concerning use and storage of
■
the rechargeable Li-ion battery pack
• Do not use the battery with the outer
covering or label removed, as doing so
may result in malfunction.
• Temperature when using: 0 to 40°C
(32 to 104°F)
• Do not use, leave or store the battery
pack near fire or inside a car exposed to
the hot sun, etc. (Locations in which the
temperature reaches 60°C [140°F] or
higher.)
• At high temperatures, the safety mechanisms
and protective devices inside the battery pack
may be damaged by corrosion, causing an
abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or cause
the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or
spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the
safety mechanisms and protective devices are
damaged, the battery pack will become
unusable.
• An environment with extremely high or low
temperatures will cause the battery capacity
to deteriorate and shorten the usable time,
and may even shorten the battery life.
• Avoid storing the battery pack with it near full
charge. It is recommended to store the
battery pack when it is near fully discharged.
• If the battery pack is completely discharged, it
may become unable to be recharged again. To
avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least
five minutes every six months.
• Storage temperature: –10 to 30°C (14
to 86°F)
• When not using the battery pack, remove it
from the camera and store at –10 to 30°C (14
to 86°F) in a place with no condensation.
• Do not keep in a place where the temperature
reaches 45°C (113°F) or higher.
• Humidity: 10 to 90% (no condensation)
