Notes on the Power Supply
Applicable Batteries
h
AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be used
with this camera.
Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix camera because the heat
generated by the batteries could damage the camera or
cause malfunctions.
h
The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands
and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the
alkaline batteries provided with the camera.
Notes on the Batteries
Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,
become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.
h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
h Do not carry or store a batteries with metal objects such
as necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact
with the metal positive + and negative _ poles of the
batteries.
h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and
take particular care to keep the terminals dry.
h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the
batteries.
h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the batteries casing.
h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to
strong impacts.
h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,
discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.
h Do not store batteries in very warm or moist locations.
h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small
children.
h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the
battery polarity (+ and _ ) is as indicated on the camera.
h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. In
the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged
and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries
of different types or brands together.
h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of
time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that if
the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time
and date settings are cleared.)
h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being
used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera
off and wait until the batteries cool down.
h When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.
Here, "new batteries" refers to either recently purchased
unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride)
batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.
h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below),
battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they
can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true of
alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your
pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them
into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the
batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the
warmer.
h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can
markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully
wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before
loading the batteries.
