- Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment.
- Do not short or disassemble batteries or expose them to flame or
excessive heat.
- When the battery is not inserted in the camera or charger, keep it in a
plastic bag or other non-conductive container so that the terminals are
insulated.
･ If the battery is hot, for example immediately after use, wait for it to cool
before charging. Attempting to charge the battery while its internal
temperature is elevated will impair battery performance, and the battery
may not charge or charge only partially.
･ If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run
it flat before removing it from the camera for storage. The battery should
be stored in a cool, dry location with an ambient temperature of 15 °C to 25
°C (59 °F to 77 °F). Avoid hot or extremely cold locations.
･ Batteries should be charged within six months of use. During long periods
of disuse, charge the battery and use the camera to run it flat once every six
months before returning it to a cool location for storage.
･ Remove the battery from the camera or charger when not in use. The
camera and charger draw minute amounts of charge even when off and
could draw the battery down to the point that it will no longer function.
･ Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above
40 °C (104 °F). Failure to observe this precaution could damage the battery
or impair its performance. Charge the battery indoors at ambient
temperatures of 5 °C–35 °C (41 °F–95 °F). The battery will not charge if its
temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
･ Capacity may be reduced and charging times increase at battery
temperatures from 0 °C (32 °F) to 15 °C (59 °F) and from 45 °C (113 °F) to 60
°C (140 °F).
･ Batteries in general exhibit a drop in charging capacity at low ambient
temperatures.
･ Batteries in general exhibit a drop in available capacity at low ambient
temperatures. The change in capacity with temperature is reflected in the
camera battery-level display. As a result, the battery display may show a
