Handling Precautions and Safety Instructions
Battery Pack
DANGER!
Treat the battery pack with care.
202
• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).
• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 °C (140 °F). Do not leave it near a heater or
inside a car in hot weather.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.
• Do not drop it or subject it to shocks.
• Do not get it wet.
• Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camera. Wipe the terminals with a
soft cloth.
Long-term storage
• Store battery packs in a dry place at temperatures no higher than 30
• To extend the battery life of the battery pack, discharge it completely before storing it.
• Charge and discharge all your battery packs fully at least once a year.
Always attach the battery terminal cover.
Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals (Figure 1), as this can
cause a short circuit and damage the battery pack. Attach the terminal cover
whenever the battery pack is not being used (Figure 2).
The battery terminal cover has a [ð]-shaped hole. This is useful when you
wish to differentiate between charged and uncharged battery packs. For
example, with charged battery packs, attach the terminal cover so that the
[ð]-shaped hole shows the colored label.

Remaining battery time
If the remaining battery time displayed is not correct, deplete the battery pack completely and then charge it fully.
Still, the correct time may not be displayed if a fully charged battery pack is used continuously in high
temperatures or it is left unused for long periods of time. Also, the correct remaining time may not be displayed,
depending on the battery life. Use the time shown on the screen as an approximation.
