be purchased on our Web site at

m
Do not touch the battery terminals with metallic objects.
m
Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature
locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunshine, or use or store the
battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to
generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also
result in a loss of performance and shortened life expectancy.
m
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or
storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes
color, changes shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact your
sales location or Kodak if any of these problems are observed.
m
It is important to use only a Kodak-specified (5V DC) AC adapter with your
camera dock. Using a different adapter or one with a different voltage
could damage your camera and battery.
m
Use care when replacing the battery in the camera. If the battery is
incorrectly replaced, there is a danger of explosion. Replace the battery
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not recharge the battery for longer periods of time than specified. Do
not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the
specified charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot,
explode, or ignite.

Remove the battery when the camera is stored for extended periods of
time. Store the battery in a dry cool place and attach the cap.
