Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix A330/FinePix A340 because the heat created by the batteries could damage the camera or cause is not to work.

h The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands. The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than those provided with the camera.

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below.

h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire. h Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins.

h Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations.

h Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, including battery casings.

h Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts.

h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.

h Do not store batteries in warm or humid places.

h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.

h Make sure that the battery polarity (and ) is 74 correct.

h Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged batteries together.

h Do not use different types or brands of batteries at the same time.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera (Note if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared).

h The batteries feel warm right after being used. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off and wait for the batteries cool down.

h Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or locations, warm the batteries by placing it inside your garments before use. A battery that is not working well due to cold will work again when the temperature is return to normal.

h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images they will allow you to take. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

If any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly with water. Note that battery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.
