• Do not peel off or damage the external covering
Peeling off the external covering, piercing it with a nail or sharp
object, striking it with a hammer, or stepping on it may cause a
short-circuit within the battery, causing ignition, explosion,
leakage or ejection of the electrolyte, or overheating.
• Insert the battery as instructed
Always make sure the battery is inserted in conformity with the +/-
polarity markings. Failure to do so might cause abnormal chemical
reaction when recharging or could cause abnormal electric current
flow in the battery, resulting in fire, explosion, leakage or ejection
of the electrolyte, or overheating in use.
WARNING
• Do not remove the battery while the unit is in use.
Do not remove the battery while the unit is being used. Doing so
could corrupt the data or cause malfunctions.
• Do not leave the battery installed for an extended time.
If the battery runs out, or if the device is not to be used for a long
time (about one week), remove the battery from the device and
keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent possible leakage of the
battery fluid.
CAUTION
• Check the battery capacity before recording or deleting
recorded material
If the remaining battery capacity indication should run low during
recording, immediately stop recording, and recharge the battery or
install a fresh battery.
If the battery becomes exhausted during deletion, it will be
impossible to delete the recorded material.
CAUTION: for eneloop (Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery)
• Charge before use
If the eneloop battery becomes exhausted, you must charge it
before use. The battery may become warm during charging, but
this is not a malfunction.
Do not recharge conventional (alkaline) batteries.
When charging the battery outside this product, use a charger that
supports eneloop batteries, and observe the instructions given in
the “owner’s manual” for your charger.
If the battery fluid leaks
If the battery does leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the
battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, skin,
or clothes, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor.
Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or
chemical burns. Also if your skin should become inflamed when
contacted by battery fluid, consult a doctor.
