Removing the Battery
• Do not use excessive force when sliding the battery/card/terminal
cover open and closed because the waterproof packing may peel off.
If the packing is not in the correct position, the camera will not be
waterproof.
• If the battery/card/terminal cover is not locked securely when you
close it, water, sand, or dirt may get into the camera.
• This camera uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI78. Use of
any other type of battery may damage the camera and cause
malfunction.
• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is incorrectly oriented,
malfunction may result.
• Do not remove the battery while the camera is turned on.
• When storing the battery for more than 6 months, charge the battery
for 30 minutes using the battery charger and store the battery
separately.
Be sure to recharge the battery every 6 to 12 months. Storing the
battery below room temperature is ideal. Avoid storing it in high
temperatures.
• The date and time may be returned to the default setting if the camera
is left without the battery for a long time.
• Be careful as the camera or the battery may become hot when the
camera is used continuously for a long period of time.
• Allow the camera to dry completely before changing the battery. Avoid
changing the battery where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and
make sure that your hands are dry.
• Battery performance may deteriorate as temperature decreases.
When using the camera in cold regions, we recommend carrying a
spare battery in your pocket to keep it warm. Battery performance will
return to normal in normal temperatures.
