Battery Handling - Olympus DS 30 Instructions Manual

• Do not short, disassemble or charge the
batteries. Never throw batteries into fire
because this can result in splitting or
explosion.
• Store batteries out of the reach of children. If
a battery is swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
• Continuous use of the flash can cause battery
temperature to rise. This may activate the
safety circuit inside the batteries and cause
the camera to stop working. In such case,
allow the batteries to cool before using the
camera again.
• Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect usage
can result in leaking, heat and damage.
When replacing the batteries, make sure the
plus and minus
aligned.
• When replacing, never mix old and new
batteries, or batteries of different types. Make
sure both terminals are of the same type and
same brand (DL123A or CR123A).

lower temperatures. In cold areas, protect the
camera by using protective gear or placing it
