Notes on the Power Supply

Applicable Batteries

hAA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be used with this camera.

Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix camera because the heat generated by the batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunctions.

hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the alkaline batteries 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.

hDo not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

hDo not carry or store a batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact with the metal positive + and negative _ poles of the batteries.

hDo not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

hDo not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries.

hDo not attempt to peel off or cut the batteries casing.

hDo not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to strong impacts.

hDo not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

hDo not store batteries in very warm or moist locations.

hKeep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.

hWhen loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the battery polarity (+and _) is as indicated on the camera.

hDo not use new batteries together with used batteries. In the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries of different types or brands together.

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

hThe batteries may feel warm immediately after being used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera off and wait until the batteries cool down.

hWhen replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries. Here, “new batteries” refers to either recently purchased unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.

hIn cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below), battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the warmer.

hSoil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can

markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully
wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before	101
loading the batteries.
