WARNING
■ If charging is not completed even after the specified time
elapses, stop the charging immediately
œ If charging is continued, it may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption
or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.
■ Keep out of the reach of children
œ The battery pack is not a toy and an unforeseeable accident may occur if
handled by children.
CAUTION
■ Recharge before use
œ Always first recharge the battery pack before using it for the first time, or before
using it after a long period of non-use. During recharging, the battery pack will
be warm. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Take care when handling immediately after use
œ The battery pack may be extremely hot immediately after use. After turning
off the digital disk camera, allow time for the battery pack to cool before
removing it.
■ Cautions concerning recycling
œ To help preserve the environment and promote the effective use of resources,
when the battery pack has ended its usable life, completely discharge it, place
tape on its positive (+) and negative (–) terminals to prevent shorting, and hand
it in for recycling.
œ If you must dispose of the battery pack yourself, always dispose of it as
nonflammable refuse and follow the regulations for your area.
