• Do not allow metal or water, or any other fluid to get into the battery compartment or onto the battery terminals.
Should any foreign object enter the main unit, remove the battery and disconnect the AC adapter, and immediately contact Olym-
pus.
• Do not use a commercially available travel converter with the battery charger. Otherwise, the battery charger may be damaged.
• Do not remove the battery as soon as possible after using the instrument for a long time.
Heat generated by the battery creates the risk of burn injury.
• Do not leave the battery in a location subject to moisture, water leak or extremely high or low temperatures.
• Do not touch the battery terminals while your hands are wet.
• If you do not plan to use the battery for a long time, remove it from the main unit and store it in a dry place.
• Otherwise, battery fluid leak and heat build-up may result in a fire or injury.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of small children.
• If you are experiencing problems loading the battery, do not try to force it in.
Check the orientation of the battery and check the terminals for abnormalities. Trying to force the battery into the compartment
may cause malfunction.
• If you are having problems removing the battery from the instrument, do not apply undue force.
Contact Olympus.
• Contact the airlines in advance when you transport the battery by the aircraft.
• When replacing the battery, do not suddenly insert or remove it repeatedly.
Doing so may prevent the power from turning on.
• Be sure to recharge the battery before using it for the first time after purchase or after it has not been used
for a long period.
• In general, the battery performance drops as the ambient temperature drops. Note that the battery performance degraded due to
low temperatures recovers when the temperature rises to a normal level.
• Contamination of battery electrodes with sweat or oil will cause contact failures. When the battery is dirty, wipe it clean with a dry
cloth before use.
• Use the battery correctly. Otherwise, battery fluid leakage, overheating, or damage may result.
Insert the batteries in the correct direction when replacing them.
• A full charger will provide approximately 120 minutes (generally speaking) of continuous operation. Actual operating time depends
on the charging method, the operating environment, and the instrument’s settings.
Preparation of multiple spare batteries is recommended when long hours of battery-powered operation are expected. The battery
charging time is normally about two hours and 30 minutes (generally speaking).
• Recommended temperature range for Li-ion battery operation.
- Discharging (using main unit)
: -10 °C to 40 °C
- Charging
: 0 °C to 45 °C
- Storage
: -20 °C to 60 °C
• Using the battery under a temperature outside the above temperature ranges will result in degradation of its performance and
service life. When storing the battery, be sure to remove it from the main unit.
• The battery is a consumable item.
• When disposing of a battery, be sure to do so in accordance with all local laws, rules, and regulations.
