k Do not drop, hit, or submit the battery pack to
strong shocks
iIf the safety mechanisms and protective devices are
broken, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur
inside the battery pack, or cause the battery pack to
catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or
generate heat.
k Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact
with fresh or salt water, or allow the terminals to
become wet
iIf the safety mechanisms and protective devices are
damaged by corrosion, an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur inside the battery pack, or cause
the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or spew
battery fluid, or generate heat.
k Operating and storage conditions
DANGER
iTemperature when using or recharging: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
iDo not use, recharge, store or leave the battery pack near fire or inside
a car exposed to the hot sun, etc. (locations in which the temperature
reaches 60°C [140°F] or higher).
iAt high temperatures, the safety mechanisms and protective devices
inside the battery pack may be damaged by corrosion, causing an
abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or cause the battery pack to
catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the
safety mechanisms and protective devices are damaged, the battery
pack will become unusable. An environment with extremely high or low
temperatures will cause the battery capacity to deteriorate and shorten
the usable time, and may even shorten the battery life.
iAvoid storing the battery pack with it near full charge. It is
recommended to store the battery pack when it is near fully
discharged.
iIf the battery pack is completely discharged, it may become unable to
be recharged again. To avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least
five minutes every six months.
iStorage temperature: –10 to 30°C (14 to 86°F)
iWhen not using the battery pack, remove it from the camera and store
at –10 to 30°C (14 to 86°F) in a place with no condensation.
iHumidity: 10% to 90% (no condensation)
