WARNING

When leaving the camera unused for long periods, such as during a vacation, always remove the batteries or unplug the camera from the AC power adapter for safety. (If you are using the AC power adapter, unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet after you have disconnected the camera.) Failure to do so could result in a fire.

Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your camera. The use of unsuitable batteries may result in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or damaging the battery compart- ment.

When inserting batteries into the camera, check the polarity markings on the battery ( - and + )to ensure that you insert the battery correctly. Incorrect battery polarity may result in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or damaging of the battery compartment.

Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of time. The batteries may leak and cause a fire, injury or damage the battery compartment. If the batteries leak, clean and wipe the bat- tery compartment carefully and install new batteries. Wash your hands carefully if you touch the battery fluid.

Do not leave battery charger plugged into AC outlet after charging is complete. Remove batteries from charger when charging is complete.
