Caution: Keep batteries
away
from
infants
and small children.
In
case
a
battery
is
acci-
dentally swallowed, call a
doctor
immediately
as the material inside the batteries can
cause
serious problems.
New batteries: Between
manufacturing
and
first use, all batteries exhibit
some
drain. There-
fore,
care
should be taken
to
purchase
the
newest (and freshest) ones
possible.
To
help
you do this,
some
manufacturers
stamp
the
date
of
manufacture
on the
bottom
of
each
battery. Ask your
camera
dealer
for
assistance
in
interpreting the codes.
Temperature: Battery life ratings are based on
operation at around
25°C
(77°
F). At other tem-
peratures, battery life is shortened. Spare bat-
teries should therefore be kept available if oper-
ation
in
low temperatures is anticipated.
Continuous use: Batteries
are
drained
much
more
quickly
by continuous use than
by
inter-
mittent
use.
Storage: When not
in
use, the batteries should
be removed to prevent
damage
from leakage.
To
minimize drain during the period of disuse,
store the batteries
in
a cool,
dry
place.
Battery brand: Do not use mixed brands of
batteries, nor batteries with different model
numbers. Also, avoid mixing new and old bat-
teries since
proper
performance
will not be
obtained and
battery
leakage into your
FG
may occur.
Polarity: When installing batteries, observe the
voltage polarities carefully. Reversal of positive
(+)
and negative
(-)
terminals will result
in
leakage. If leakage should occur, clean care-
fully
or
take your
FG
to your dealer.
