Using Your Batteries
Keep batteries away from children.
In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately
wash the contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Contact your
local health care provider, or in the U.S. contact Kodak Health, Safety,
and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151.
In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the camera, U.S.
customers can contact the Kodak Information Center at 1-800-242-2424.
Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer
Service representative.
Kodak recommends KODAK PHOTOLIFE AA Alkaline Batteries, or
KODAK AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries for use in KODAK digital
cameras.
Remove the batteries when the camera is stored for extended periods of
time.
Always follow your battery manufacturer’s directions fully. Do not
attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high
temperature or fire.
Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of
AA-size batteries currently available. These include 1.5-volt alkaline and
rechargeable 1.2-volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH).
Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be
mixed with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and nonrechargeable
batteries. Do not mix alkaline or Ni-MH types of batteries. Do not mix
different grades or brands of batteries. Failure to observe this precaution
may result in some batteries in a set being driven beyond their normal
exhaust point and increase their possibility of leakage.
NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends
significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and camera. Digital
camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries
perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, Ni-
MH rechargeable batteries delivered the outstanding results in a variety of
conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices, such
as digital cameras, and do not exhibit the “memory” effects seen with
other rechargeable technologies.
If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain better
performance from “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries, such as
KODAK PHOTOLIFE alkaline batteries. These types of batteries last
