■ Charger Unit Precautions
• Never plug the charger unit into an outlet whose volt-
age rating is different from that marked on the charger
unit. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and
electric shock.
• Never plug in or unplug the charger unit while your
hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not plug the charger unit into an outlet or extension
cord that is shared by other devices. Doing so creates
the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.
• The charger unit becomes slightly warm during charg-
ing. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• Unplug the charger unit from the power outlet when-
ever you are not using it.
● BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure you remove the battery from your camera
when you do not plan to use the camera for a long
time. A battery left in the camera discharges very
small amounts of power even when camera power is
turned off, which can lead to a dead battery or a longer
charging time.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20°C (68 °F) or
lower).
● USING THE BATTERY
• See the User’s Guide that comes with the special
charger unit and the digital camera for information
about charging procedures and charging time.
• When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in
the digital camera or stored in its case.
