General precautions concerning the batteries
œ Use only alkaline batteries or other specified batteries in this
camera. Manganese batteries cannot be used, as they have a
short battery life and may overheat, causing damage to the digital
camera.
œ Never use an alkaline battery together with a Ni-Cd battery, or batteries
of different types or different brands at the same time.
œ Do not use a new battery together with an old battery, or combine
consumed batteries.
œ Make sure not to invert the polarity ((+) and (–)) when installing the
batteries.
œ Use of batteries of different types, new and old batteries, or consumed
batteries together may generate heat or cause the batteries to leak,
resulting in fire, injury or burns, or damage to the digital camera and
any other nearby object.
œ When purchasing batteries, be sure to purchase only the specified
batteries. Use of batteries without protective casings or other inferior
products may cause a fire, injury, or burns.
