WARNING
Using batteries improperly can cause them to leak harmful solutions,
overheat, or explode which may damage property or cause personal
injury. Do not ignore the following warnings.
• Only use the batteries specified in this instruction manual.
• Do not install the batteries with the polarity (+/–) reversed.
• Do not use batteries which show wear or damage.
• Do not expose batteries to fire, high temperatures, water, or moisture.
• Do not attempt to short or disassemble batteries.
• Do not store batteries near or in metallic products.
• Do not mix batteries of different types, brands, ages, or charge levels.
• Do not charge alkaline or lithium batteries.
• When recharging rechargeable batteries, only use the recommended
charger.
• Do not use leaking batteries. If fluid from the batteries enters your eye,
immediately rinse the eye with plenty of fresh water and contact a doc-
tor. If fluid from the batteries makes contact with your skin or clothing,
wash the area thoroughly with water.
• Tape over battery contacts to avoid short-circuiting during disposal;
always follow local regulations for battery disposal.
• Use only the specified AC adapter within the voltage range indicated on
the adapter unit. An inappropriate adapter or current may cause dam-
age or injury through fire or electric shock.
• Do not disassemble this product. Electric shock may cause injury if a
high voltage circuit inside the product is touched.
• Immediately remove the batteries or unplug the AC adapter and discon-
tinue use if the camera is dropped or subjected to an impact in which
the interior, especially the flash unit, is exposed. The flash has a high
voltage circuit which may cause an electric shock resulting in injury.
The continued use of a damaged product or part may cause injuries or
fire.
