Charging the Battery Pack (continued)
•Do not allow any metal objects such as keyrings to touch the “+” and “-”
terminals (Fig. A), as this can damage the battery pack. To carry the battery pack,
or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B) or
place it in the supplied case and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge it fully
before using it again.
•Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to
charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.
•Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year)
can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you are recommended to use the
battery pack in the camera until the LB symbol displays and to store it at normal
temperature (30º C/86º F or less). If you do not use the battery pack for long
periods of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera at least once a
year before returning it to storage.
•The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a
function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly
attentive in turning the camera off.
•Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º
F), the optimal range is 10 to 30º C (50 to 86º F). At cold temperatures, such as
those experienced when skiing, performance will temporarily decline, reducing
the usable time before recharging.
•If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully
charged, it should be replaced.
