Safety precautions
Do not use a non-specified battery and/or charger.
Use of a non-designated battery and/or re-charger may lead to camera or battery
failure as well as other unexpected accidents. Any accidents resulting from use of
non-designated equipment will not be compensated.
CAUTION
Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors,
noise, or smoke around it.
If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera during
operation, switch it off immediately — and remove the battery. Allow the camera
to sit idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from
flammable objects, and carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery
with bare hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center immediately.
Do not use the camera with wet hands.
Damage or electric shock may result. Also, do not connect or disconnect the
power plug with wet hands.
Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera.
It could easily catch on stray objects — and cause serious damage.
Do not leave the camera in areas subject to extremely high
temperature.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the
camera to catch fire.
When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a
low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
• When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the
camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the
camera's body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible,
wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
Do not damage the power cable.
Do not pull on the charger's cable or add another cable to it. Be sure to connect
or disconnect the charger's cable while holding the power plug. If the following
cases occur, stop using and contact an Olympus dealer or authorized customer
support center.
• The power plug or cable produces heat, burning smell, or smoke.
• The power plug or cable is cracked or broken. The contact is bad on the power
plug.
