Cautions concerning the locations of use and storage
■
Only recharge using the supplied NC-LSC04WSA AC
adapter/charger
œ
If recharged using a different charger, an excessive charging condition or abnormal
electrical currents may result and cause a chemical reaction within the battery
pack. This may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or
overheating.
■
Only use with the specified devices
œ
If used with devices not specified for its use, abnormal electrical currents may
result and cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of
electrolyte, or overheating.
■
Do not remove or damage the covering
œ
Removing the covering, piercing with a nail, hitting with a hammer, stepping on, or
damaging the cover in any way may cause an internal short and result in a fire,
rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.
■
If you come in contact with electrolyte, immediately rinse
with water
œ
If the electrolyte gets into your eyes, you risk losing your eyesight. Do not rub
your eyes, wash them immediately with clean water, and seek medical attention
right away. If electrolyte gets on your skin or clothing, it may cause irritation. Immediately wash
with clean water.
■
Always insert orientated as indicated
œ
When inserting the battery pack in the AC adapter/charger or digital disk camera,
make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals are oriented correctly as
indicated.
œ
If the battery pack is used or charged with the polarity of the terminals reversed, an abnormal
chemical reaction will occur during charging and an abnormal current will flow during use. Both
may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or
overheating.
œ
Ambient temperature during use or charging: 0 to 40° C
Do not use, recharge, store, or leave near an open flame, in a car under the hot sun, or
in any other hot location (60°C or higher).
Extreme heat will damage the safety mechanisms and protective devices and cause a
chemical reaction within the battery pack that may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery
pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating. If the safety mechanisms and
protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will become unusable.
If subject to extremely hot or cold conditions, the capacity of the battery pack will
decrease and its usable life will be shortened. Use in ambient temperatures of 20
±
5°C
is recommended. Ambient temperatures below 10°C will cause the operation time to
become drastically shortened.
œ
Ambient temperature during storage: – 20 to 30° C
When storing the battery pack, remove it from the device, insert it into its protective
cover, and store it in a location between –20°C and 30°C.
œ
Ambient humidity: 45 to 85% RH
