hAA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be used
with this camera.
Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix camera because the heat
generated by the batteries could damage the camera or
cause malfunctions.
hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands
and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the
alkaline batteries provided with the camera.
hKeep the batteries out of reach of babies and small
children.
h
When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the
battery polarity (
+
and
_
) is as indicated on the camera.
hDo not use new batteries together with used batteries. In
the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged
and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries
of different types or brands together.
hIf you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of
time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that if
the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time
and date settings are cleared.)
hThe batteries may feel warm immediately after being
used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera
off and wait until the batteries cool down.
h
When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.
Here, “new batteries” refers to either recently purchased
unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride)
batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.
h
In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below),
battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they
can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true of
alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your
pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them
into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the
batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the
warmer.
h
Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can
markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully
wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before
loading the batteries.
Applicable Batteries
Notes on the Power Supply
Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,
become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.
hDo not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
hDo not carry or store a batteries with metal objects such
as necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact
with the metal positive + and negative _ poles of the
batteries.
hDo not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and
take particular care to keep the terminals dry.
hDo not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the
batteries.
hDo not attempt to peel off or cut the batteries casing.
hDo not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to
strong impacts.
hDo not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,
discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.
hDo not store batteries in very warm or moist locations.

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly
■ Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of
locations:
hIn the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
hIn direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.
hExtremely cold places.
hPlaces subject to strong vibration.
hPlaces affected by smoke or steam.
hPlaces subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near
motors, transformers or magnets).
hIn contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to
rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.
■ Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand
The FinePix A202 is particularly adversely affected by
water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to
water, ensure that the camera is not exposed to water or
sand. Take care also not to place the camera on a wet
surface. Water or sand inside the camera can cause faults
that may be irreparable.
■ Notes on Condensation
If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a
warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form on
the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs,
switch the camera off and wait an hour before using the
camera. Condensation may also form on the xD-Picture
card. In this event, remove the xD-Picture Card and wait a
short time before using it again.
■ When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of
time, remove the batteries and the xD-Picture Card before
storing the camera.
■ Cleaning Your Camera
hUse a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder and then wipe lightly with a
soft, dry cloth. If any soil remains, apply a small amount
of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens
cleaning paper and wipe gently.
hDo not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily
damaged.
hClean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine or
insecticide, as these may react with camera body and
cause deformation or remove the coating.
■ Using the Camera Overseas
When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the
check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports may
subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be
damaged internally even when no external damage is
visible.

Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.114), to ensure that you use
your camera correctly.
