USING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY
(CONCERNING THE DIGITAL CAMERA)
WARNING
General precautions concerning the batteries
œ
Use the rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries supplied with
the digital camera. Manganese batteries cannot be used, as they
have a short battery life and may overheat, causing damage to the
digital camera.
œ
Do not use a recharged battery together with a discharged battery. Do
not use nickel metal hydride batteries together with Ni-Cd batteries, or
batteries of different types or different brands at the same time.
œ
Make sure not to invert the polarity ((+) and (–)) when installing the
batteries. Install the batteries following the indicated polarity.
œ
Use of different types of batteries at the same time may generate heat or
cause the batteries to leak, resulting in fire, injury or burns, or damage to
the digital camera and any other nearby object.
œ
Use only specified batteries. Use of batteries without protective casings
or other inferior products may cause a fire, injury, or burns.
œ
The batteries may be warm immediately after the digital
camera is used. If removing the batteries, turn off the digital
camera and allow the batteries to cool down before
removing them.
œ
If a battery is leaking and the electrolyte gets on your skin
or clothing, immediately rinse with clean water. If the
electrolyte gets into your eyes, you risk losing your
eyesight. Immediately rinse your eyes with clean, running
water, and seek medical attention right away.
œ
Do not drop or hit the batteries, or submit them to strong shocks.
œ
If the digital camera is not going to be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries and store them in a cool place. (When the batteries
are removed for a long period, the time and date settings will be cleared.)
œ
When disposing of the batteries, make sure to follow all applicable
regulations.
œ
If used in temperature below 10°C, the service life of the batteries will be
shorter than normal.
œ
Always read the instruction manuals that may come with the batteries you
purchase before use.
