Pr
ecautions and car
e ins
tructions
• Batteries have a limited service life. It is recommended to
replace it after around four years; this may be necessary sooner
if used in a cold environment. (You will find the battery manufac-
ture date on its casing. Written: calender week/year(WW/YY))
• Take damaged batteries to a collection point to ensure correct
recycling.
• The batteries must not be exposed to heat or sunlight for pro-
longed periods, or to humidity or moisture. Likewise, the batter-
ies may not be placed in a microwave oven or a high pressure
container as this results in a risk of fire or explosion.
FOR THE CHARGER
• If the charger is used in the vicinity of radio receivers, it can
interfere with the reception; make sure there is a distance of at
least 1m between the devices.
• When the charger is in use, it can make a noise (buzzing) – this
is quite normal and is not a malfunction.
• When it is not in use, disconnect the charger from the mains as
otherwise it uses a certain (very small) amount of power even
when no battery is inserted in it.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit
them.
• The car charging cable supplied
– may only be operated with 12V electrical systems,
– may never be connected while the charger is connected to the
mains.
FOR MEMORY CARDS
• While a picture is being stored or the memory card is being read,
it may not be removed, nor may the camera be turned off or
exposed to vibrations.
• For safety, memory cards should only ever be stored in the
anti-static case supplied.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high
temperatures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static dis-
charge.
• Do not drop or bend a memory card as this can damage it and
result in loss of the stored data.
• Always remove the memory card if you will not be using the
camera for a long period of time,
• Do not touch the connections on the rear of the memory card
and keep them free of dirt, dust and moisture.
• It is recommended that the memory card be reformatted from
time to time, as fragmentation occurs when deleting, which can
block some of the memory capacity.
