Using Your Batteries

Keep batteries away from children.

In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately wash the contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Contact your local health care provider, or in the U.S. contact Kodak Health, Safety, and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151.

In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the camera, U.S. customers can contact the Kodak Information Center at 1-800-242-2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer Service representative.

Kodak recommends KODAK PHOTOLIFE AA Alkaline Batteries, or KODAK AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries for use in KODAK digital cameras.

Remove the batteries when the camera is stored for extended periods of time.

Always follow your battery manufacturer’s directions fully. Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.

Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of AA-size batteries currently available. These include 1.5-volt alkaline and rechargeable 1.2-volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH).

Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be mixed with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and nonrechargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline or Ni-MH types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of batteries. Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their possibility of leakage.

NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and camera. Digital camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, Ni- MH rechargeable batteries delivered the outstanding results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices, such as digital cameras, and do not exhibit the “memory” effects seen with other rechargeable technologies.

If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain better performance from “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries, such as KODAK PHOTOLIFE alkaline batteries. These types of batteries last
