Power Supply Notes
• Use AA-size nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), AA-size Ni-Cd or AA-size alkaline
batteries, CR123A lithium batteries and a CR2025 button cell with the FinePix
S1 Pro.
Do not use AA-size manganese or AA-size lithium batteries as these battery
types emit heat that can cause camera faults or malfunctions.
• The capacity of alkaline batteries varies depending on the brand. The life of
some batteries may be considerably shorter than others.
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak fluid, emit heat,
emit sparks or burst. Observe the following precautions:
• Do not heat batteries or throw them into a fire.
• Do not allow metal objects such as pins to come into contact with the positive
+
and negative
-
poles on a battery and do not carry or store batteries with
metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
• Do not get water or seawater on batteries and keep the battery terminals dry.
• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify a battery.
• Do not attempt to remove or damage the battery casing.
• Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject batteries to strong impacts.
• Do not use batteries that are leaking fluid, are deformed or discolored or are
in any other way abnormal.
• Do not store batteries in very warm or humid places.
• Store batteries out of the reach of small children.
• When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the positive
+
and
negative
-
poles are arranged as indicated.
• Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. (With rechargeable
batteries, do not use charged batteries together with discharged batteries.)
Do not use batteries of different types or brands together.
• Remove the batteries from the camera if it will not be used for a long period.
(If the button cell CR2025 battery is removed from the camera, the camera
settings will revert to the factory default values.)
• Some batteries may feel warm just after use. Switch the camera off and allow
the batteries to cool before removing them.
• When replacing the batteries, always fit new batteries of the same type. In the
case of alkaline, lithium CR123A and button cell CR2025 batteries, “new
batteries” denotes recently purchased, unused batteries. In the case of
rechargeable Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries, it denotes batteries that were
recently fully recharged at the same time.
• In cold locations (+10°C (+50°F) or colder), battery performance declines and
the time for which the batteries can be used decreases. Because this
tendency is particularly pronounced in alkaline and lithium batteries, warm the
batteries by placing them in a warm place such as your pocket before using
them. If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the batteries
directly against the pad.
