PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
• Charge the battery in a location where the temperature
is in the range of 5
°
C to 35
°
C (41
°
F to 95
°
F). Charging
outside this temperature range can cause charging to
take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.
• Very limited operation following a full charge indicates
that the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Replace the battery with a new one.
• Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol,
or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags.
Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead
to malfunction.
• Always make sure that the rapid charger is on a level
surface when using it for charging.
●
BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure you remove the battery from the camera
when you do not plan to use it for a long time. A battery
left in the camera discharges very small amounts of
power even when power is turned off, which can lead to
a dead battery or the need for longer charging before
the next use.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20
°
C (68
°
F) or
lower).
●
USING THE BATTERY
• When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in
the camera or stored in its case.
