CHECKING THE PACKAGE CONTENTS

CONTENTS

Do not use the following kinds of batteries.

Outer coating (insu-
lation) is peeling or
has peeled off (even
i f   t h e   b a t t e r y   i s
brand-new).

The negative end is
slightly swollen and is
not covered by the
coating (insulation).

The negative end is
flat (whether or not a
part of the negative
pole is covered by
the coating).

All rechargeable batteries must be recharged using the specified battery charger, simultaneously and com-
pletely. Be sure to read the battery and battery charger instruction manual.

Improper use of batteries may result in fluid leak, heat generation and/or damage. Sweat and oil smudges may
cause battery contact failure. To prevent this, remove any stain completely with a dry cloth and insert the
batteries by observing the +/- polarity.

In general, battery performance will be temporarily reduced as the ambient temperature drops. When using
batteries in a cold place, keep them warm by keeping the electronic flash in cold protection gear or clothing.

If battery fluid gets on your skin or clothes, it may irritate your skin. Immediately rinse your skin or clothes with
clean water.

If battery fluid comes in contact with your eyes, blindness may result. Rinse your eyes with clean water without
rubbing them and see a doctor immediately.

Do not apply a strong shock to a battery or throw it.

When traveling, it is a good idea to carry spare batteries with you. In some countries, it may be difficult to
obtain certain batteries.

Do not immerse batteries in water or expose to moisture including rain, seawater and animal urine.

If the +/- terminals of a battery are stained with sweat or oil smudges, contact failure may result. Clean the
terminals well with a dry cloth before using the batteries.

Do not throw a battery in fire or heat it.

When disposing of batteries, be sure to follow local regulations.

When disposing of a rechargeable battery, insulate the +/- terminals with pieces of tape and take them to your
nearest rechargeable battery recycling center.
