✽Memory effect: A phenomenon affecting the battery
characteristics such that the apparent
battery capacity decreases.
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.
If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery
compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.
I
f any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or
clothing, flush the area thoroughly with water. Note that
battery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your
eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out
with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.
■Disposing of Batteries
When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your
local waste disposal regulations.
■Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MH
batteries)
hAlways use the special battery charger to charge AA-size
Ni-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described in the
instructions provided with the battery charger.
hDo not use the battery charger to charge batteries other
than those specified for use with the charger.
hNote that the batteries may feel warm immediately after
being charged.
hNi-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to
charge the batteries before using them.
hThe camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute
amount of current even when the camera is switched off.
Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH batteries in the
camera for a long period of time as they can become
excessively discharged and may no longer be usable
even when charged.
hNi-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used.
Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If the
time for which a battery provides power shortens
markedly when it has been correctly charged, this
indicates that the battery has reached the end of its
effective life and should be replaced.
hSoiling (fingerprints, etc.) on the terminals of Ni-MH
batteries can greatly reduce the number of available
shots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefully
with a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge in
the batteries and recharge them.
hNewly purchased batteries or batteries that have been
left unused for an extended period may not be fully
charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display of
the battery low warning or a low number of available
shots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries and
does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and using
the batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normal
condition.
hIf you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH battery before it is fully
discharged, it will suffer from the “memory effect”*,
causing the battery low warning to appear while there is
still ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore the
batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge
in the batteries before recharging them.
Notes on the Power Supply
Always use the AC-5VH/AC-5VHS AC Power Adapter with
the FinePix S304 Camera.
The use of an AC power adapter other than the AC-5VH/
AC-5VHS could result in damage to your FinePix S304
Digital Camera.
hThis AC power adapter is designed exclusively for indoor
use.
hPlug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input
terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.
hTurn off the power switch of the FUJIFILM Digital camera
before disconnecting the connection cord from the
FUJIFILM Digital camera’s DC input terminal. To
disconnect, take hold of the plug and pull it out (do not
disconnect it by pulling on the cord).
hDo not use this AC power adapter with any device except
the specified device.
hDuring use, this AC power adapter will become hot to
touch, but this is normal.
hDo not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so
could be dangerous.
hDo not use this device in a place with high temperature
and high humidity.
hDo not drop or subject this device to strong shocks.
Notes on Using the AC Power Adapter
hThis device may emit a humming noise, but this is
normal.
hIf used near a radio, this device may cause static, so play
the radio in a distant place.
