ARE AND STORAGE
BATTERIES
• Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we
recommend keeping spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat.
Batteries can recover their power when they warm up.
• Do not store the battery when it is fully charged.
• When storing the battery for extended periods, recharge it for five minutes every six
months. The battery may not be able to be charged if completely exhausted.
•Aspecial built-in battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera
battery is exhausted or removed. If the camera resets each time the battery is replaced,
the built-in battery is exhausted. It must be replaced at a Konica Minolta service facility.
•Keep battery and camera charger contacts clean. Dirty contacts can prevent charging.
If the contacts become dirty, wipe them with a cotton swab.
MEMORY CARD CARE AND HANDLING
Memory Cards are manufactured with precision electronic components. The following
may cause data loss or damage:
• Improper use of the card.
• Bending, dropping, or subjecting the card to impact.
• Heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
• Static electrical discharge or electromagnetic fields near the card.
• Removing the card or interrupting the power supply while the camera or a computer is
accessing the card (reading, writing, formatting, etc.).
•Touching the electrical contacts of the card with your fingers or metal objects.
• Using the card beyond its life. Purchasing a new card periodically may be necessary.
• When using a Microdrive, do not subject the camera to vibrations.
Konica Minolta has no responsibility for any loss or damage to data. It is recommended
that a copy of the card data be made.
