• Recycling Batteries
The battery charging stand supplied with the camera is designed to
switch automatically to the voltage (100-240V) and frequency (50Hz,
60Hz) of the electricity supply in the country or region where used.
However, electrical socket shapes differ depending on the country or
region. Before traveling abroad, you are advised to check the socket
shape in your destination (see “Main Socket Types in the Major
Countries and Regions of the World” (p.19)) and take an appropriately
shaped off-the-shelf adapter plug with you. (Electrical socket shapes
may vary depending on the region of the country. Check the socket
shape used in the region.)
The socket shape does not affect the charging method.
This symbol indicates that the battery is recyclable.
Cover the terminals with insulating tape and take the
battery to a store displaying this symbol.
Charging the Battery Abroad
• Use of an off-the-shelf transformer may lead to defective
operation.
• Unplug the adapter plug from the power outlet when the battery
charging stand is not in use.
