BASIC OPERATION
R WARNING! When using the BP-263 battery case, fre-
quent or continuous transmissions can cause the batter-
ies to overheat, and may cause a burn. To prevent this, the
default time-out timer is set to 5 minutes (p. 45). Be careful
when the time-out timer function is turned OFF or set to a
long time period, and transmission is made for long periods.
• We recommend using the Mid or Low power setting.
