Getting Started
CAUTION
• The CR-V3 (Olympus-brand LB-01) lithium battery packs are not
rechargeable.
• Make sure that the camera power is off before inserting the batteries.
• Alkaline batteries deliver markedly inferior performance, especially in cold
weather. For this reason, we highly recommend using NiMH batteries or
lithium battery packs.
• Do not use Zinc-carbon batteries. Please read battery warnings.
• Do not to touch the inside of the empty battery compartment.
• If the camera is left for one hour with the batteries removed and the
optional AC adapter disconnected, all camera settings will revert to their
initial settings.
* See “Handling Batteries” on page 8~10.
WARNING
Batteries with any part of the outer seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeling
off, or any battery split along the seam, can leak, generate heat, or explode.
Never use damaged batteries in the camera. Store-bought batteries
occasionally may be defective, with all or part of the magnetic insulation
sheath peeling off. Never use batteries in this condition.

Inserting the Batteries
This camera uses four AA (R6) alkaline, NiMH, lithium or NiCd batteries. It
can also take two CR-V3 lithium battery packs (Olympus LB-01).
Do not mix different types of batteries or insert the batteries facing in the
wrong direction. Do not use manganese batteries, as they may overheat and
cause fatal damage to the camera.
