BATTERY HANDLING
This camera uses four AA alkaline batteries, AA nickel
metal hydride batteries, AA lithium batteries or AA
NiCd batteries. (Olympus brand AA nickel metal
hydride batteries are recommended.)
Do not use AA manganese batteries. Besides
shortening battery life, manganese batteries may
overheat and damage the camera.
Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use of batteries
can cause fluid leak, heat generation, or other
damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load
them correctly.
The batteries may be temporarily disabled when
exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera
and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold
environment. Batteries that are weak in cold
temperatures will be restored under normal
temperatures.
Sweat, oil, and so on, can prevent a battery’s
terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid
this, wipe both terminals before loading the battery.
Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long
trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to
obtain abroad.
When using nickel metal hydride batteries or NiCd
batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the
correct battery charger.
Read instructions carefully before handling nickel
metal hydride batteries or NiCd batteries.
