Safety precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent the battery from leaking, overheating,
burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.
Battery handling precautions
Never heat or incinerate the battery.
Do not connect the (+) and (-) terminals to each other using metal objects.
Do not carry or store the battery where it may come into contact with metal objects
such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
Never store the battery where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to
high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc.
●
Battery leakage, overheating or explosion, etc. may cause a fire, burns or injury.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery or modify it in any way, such as by
soldering.
●
Doing so may break the terminals or cause battery fluid to splash, resulting in potential
fire, explosion, battery leakage, overheating or other damage.
If battery fluid gets in your eyes, loss of eyesight may result.
●
If battery fluid gets in your eyes, do not rub them. Flush them immediately with clear, cold
running water and seek medical attention straight away.
DANGER
Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
●
If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera during operation,
switch it off immediately — and disconnect a specified AC adapter (if attached). Allow the
camera to sit idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from
flammable objects, and carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery with bare
hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center immediately.
Do not use the camera with wet hands.
●
Damage or electric shock may result. Also, do not connect or disconnect the power plug
with wet hands.
Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera
●
It could easily catch on stray objects —and cause serious damage.
Do not leave the camera in areas subject to extremely high temperature.
●
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera
to catch fire.
Use only the AC adapter specified by Olympus.
●
Using a different AC adapter may damage the camera or power source, or result in
accidents or fire. Ensure the adapter used is designed for your region or country. For
more information, contact the nearest Olympus service center or the store of purchase.
Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any damages caused by AC
adapters not recommended by Olympus.
Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn.
●
When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature
burn. Pay attention to the following:
– When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in
this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
– In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera’s
body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when
handling the camera in cold temperatures.
