BATTERY HANDLING
n
This camera uses four AA alkaline batteries, AA nickel
metal hydride batteries or AA NiCd batteries.
(Olympus brand AA nickel metal hydride batteries are
recommended. Alkaline batteries are not
recommended.)
n
Do not use AA manganese batteries or AA lithium
batteries. Besides shortening battery life, manganese
batteries may overheat and damage the camera.
n
Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use of batteries
can cause fluid leak, heat generation, or other
damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load
them correctly.
n
The batteries may be temporarily disabled when
exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera
and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold
environment. Batteries that are weak in cold
temperatures will be restored under normal
temperatures.
n
Sweat, oil, and so on, can prevent a battery’s
terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid
this, wipe both terminals before loading the battery.
n
Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long
trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to
obtain abroad.
n
When using nickel metal hydride batteries or NiCd
batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the
correct battery charger.
n
Read instructions carefully before handling nickel
metal hydride batteries or NiCd batteries.
