CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE BATTERY
General precautions concerning the
batteries (when using alkaline batteries)
Use only alkaline batteries or other
specified batteries in this camera.
Manganese batteries cannot be used, as
they have a short battery life and may
overheat, causing damage to the digital
camera.
Use of an alkaline battery together with a Ni-Cd
battery, or a new battery with an old or consumed
battery, may generate heat or cause the batteries
to leak, resulting in fire, injury or burns, or
damage to the camera and any other nearby
object.
Use of batteries without protective casings or
other inferior products may cause a fire, injury, or
burns.
Do not attempt to recharge dry-cell batteries.
If the digital camera is not going to be used for a
long period of time, remove the batteries and
store them in a cool place. (When the batteries
are removed for a long period, the time and date
settings will be cleared.)
If using rechargeable batteries instead of alkaline
batteries, use after fully recharging with the
exclusive battery charger. Be sure to read and
understand the instruction manuals that may
come with the batteries you purchase, as well as
the instruction manual for the battery charger,
before use.
Cautions concerning use and storage of
the rechargeable Li-ion battery pack
Do not use the battery with the outer
covering or label removed, as doing so
may result in malfunction.
Temperature when using: 0 to 40°C (32 to
104°F)
Do not use, leave or store the battery pack
near fire or inside a car exposed to the hot
sun, etc. (Locations in which the
temperature reaches 60°C [140°F] or
higher.)
• At high temperatures, the safety mechanisms
and protective devices inside the battery pack
may be damaged by corrosion, causing an
abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or cause
the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or
spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the
safety mechanisms and protective devices are
damaged, the battery pack will become
unusable.
• An environment with extremely high or low
temperatures will cause the battery capacity to
deteriorate and shorten the usable time, and
may even shorten the battery life.
• Avoid storing the battery pack with it near full
charge. It is recommended to store the battery
pack when it is near fully discharged.
• If the battery pack is completely discharged, it
may become unable to be recharged again. To
avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least
five minutes every six months.
Storage temperature: –10 to 30°C (14 to
86°F)
When not using the battery pack, remove it from
the camera and store at –10 to 30°C (14 to 86°F)
in a place with no condensation.
• Do not keep in a place where the temperature
reaches 45°C (113°F) or higher.
Humidity: 10 to 90% (no condensation)
