BATTERY HANDLING
Ⅲ This camera uses four AA NiMH batteries, AA alkaline batteries, AA
lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries.
Ⅲ Performance will be limited with alkaline batteries, especially in low
temperatures. NiMH batteries are recommended.
Ⅲ AA manganese batteries or a CR-V3 lithium battery pack cannot be
used.
Ⅲ Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leakage, heat
generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to
load them correctly.
Ⅲ 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.
Ⅲ Sweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery’s terminals from making
electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the
battery.
Ⅲ Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New
batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.
Ⅲ When using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge
them fully with the correct battery charger.
Ⅲ Read instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries or NiCd
batteries.
Ⅲ NEVER use any battery whose body is not covered by the insulating
sheet, as it may cause a fire or injury.
Ⅲ Recommended Temperature when Using NiMH Batteries
Operation: 32 ~ 104°F, Charge: 32 ~ 104°F, Storage: -4 ~ 86°F
(Usage outside this temperature range may limit battery performance
or shorten battery life. Unload batteries from the camera when not in
use.)
