Battery safety precautions
Follow these instructions to safely use your batteries.
Using batteries
● Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection
devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.
● Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery,
the battery emits an unusual smell, feels unusually hot, changes color or shape, or appears
abnormal in any other way.
● In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse
well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could
cause damage to the eye.
● Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
● Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
● Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to each other
with any metal object (such as wire).
● Do not carry or store the battery together with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects.
● Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or
otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
● Do not solder directly onto the battery.
Note The camera and the dock may be warm while operating and charging a Lithium
Ion battery. This is normal.
A Lithium Ion battery can be left in the camera for any period of time without harm to the
battery or the camera. However, do not store the battery in the camera if it is not
necessary. Always store charged batteries in a cool location.
Recharging batteries
You can recharge both Lithium Ion and NiMH batteries in your dock.
● Use the camera and the dock in a dry location only.
● Do not charge a battery in a hot location, such as near a fire or in direct sunlight.
● When recharging a battery, do not cover the camera or the dock in any way.
● Do not operate the camera or the dock if it appears damaged in any way.
● Do not disassemble the camera or the dock.
● Unplug the HP AC power adapter from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
