Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries and memory cards from damage
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can
create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and
lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a fire
or electric shock.
Handle and dispose of batteries with care
•
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when
you dispose of used batteries.
•
Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when
they are overheated.
