Regardless of whether this unit is in use or in storage, do not leave it
where it can be exposed to:
Extremely high temperatures
Do not leave this unit where it might be exposed to direct sunlight;
Avoid places like vehicle dashboards or near heat sources. The inside

Other cautions
This unit is designed for use from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F).
When charging the battery pack, make sure that the ambient
temperature is within the range from 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F).
A rapid and dramatic rise in temperature causes condensation to form.
Therefore, seal the unit in a plastic bag and remove as much of the
air inside of the bag as you can before attempting to bring this unit
inside after being in the cold for any extended period of time. Once
the temperature in the bag has had a change to rise gradually to the
temperature in the room, you can safely remove the unit from the bag.
These procedures will prevent the unit from changing temperatures
rapidly, thereby prevent condensation from forming.
When dirty, this unit may be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth. Do not
allow this unit to come in contact with alcohol or other chemicals.
This unit has an electrically-connected signal contact point with the
camera.
If you load the battery pack(s) while this unit is not attached to the
camera, the unit could malfunction or be damaged by a shorting of the
contact point.
When attaching this unit to the camera, detaching this unit from the
camera or storing this unit separately, be sure to remove the battery
pack(s) from this unit.
When attaching a tripod to this unit, use one with a screw no longer
than 5.5 mm. This unit cannot be firmly fastened on a tripod using long
screws. Attempting to do so will damage this unit.
