Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Carry
spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them
warm until you are ready to take pictures. Do not discard cold batteries
that do not work, once warmed, they may be usable.
When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions and
any local and national regulations. Kodak suggests customers take
advantage of any community battery recycling programs that may exist in
your area. Contact your local waste remover or recycler for details.
Caution Hot Surface
When removing batteries, allow to cool before touching, since the
batteries may be hot.
