Getting Started
Supplying Power to the Camera
The procedures for loading the batteries (alkaline batteries, Lithium battery) are explained
in this section. Electrical power supply by standard AC household current is also ex-
plained in this section.
Inserting Batteries
Insert four AA alkaline batteries to begin using the camera. It is recommended to use the
same type of batteries which are included in the package.
Note: The camera can also be powered by commercially available rechargeable nickel-cadmium
(NiCad) batteries or nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. (It is recommended to use a high
capacity type of battery for NiCad batteries.)

Warning
Observe the following precautions to prevent the batteries from leak-
ing, exploding, igniting fire or breaking.
• Never use batteries that are not specifically recommended for use
with this camera.
• Never dispose of the batteries in a fire; do not short-circuit the ter-
minals; and do not attempt to disassemble, heat, or recharge the
batteries. (Only Nickel Cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) bat-
teries can be recharged.) Doing so may damage the batteries and
cause a fire, injury, or environmental contamination.
• Do not use batteries incorrectly; do not use batteries of a different
type or name; do not use batteries of a different manufacturer; and
do not mix old and new batteries.
• Be sure to maintain the correct polarity (positive [+] and negative
[–] poles) when inserting the batteries.
• Do not solder the batteries. This may damage the batteries and
may cause a fire, injury, or environmental contamination.
• When using rechargeable batteries, do not mix them with other
types of batteries or with batteries in another charged condition.
• Store the batteries in a location that is not accessible to infants or
children in order to prevent the batteries from being swallowed ac-
cidentally. Contact a doctor immediately if the batteries are swal-
lowed accidentally. This may result in severe personal injury.
