Preparation

•As the ambient temperature is low [10oC (50oF) or less], the performance of the batteries will be deteriorated and the available recording/playback time becomes extremely short. This is normal. Alkaline batteries significantly show such tendencies. In such cases, remove the batteries and warm them in your pocket. Take special care not to allow the contacts to come into contact with metal objects or a pocket warmer in your pocket.

•If an oil stain or any foreign substance is found on the battery contacts, it could prevent the batteries from making good electrical contact. The available recording/ playback time may become extremely short. Before inserting the batteries, clean the battery contacts with soft, dry cloth.

If any leakage from the batteries is noted, remove the batteries, thoroughly wipe off the battery electrolyte in the battery housing and then insert new batteries or fully charged Ni-MH batteries.

If leaked battery electrolyte contacts your hand or cloth, wash with water. Battery electrolyte may cause loss of sight if it comes in contact with your eyes. In such cases, do not rub at your eyes. Immediately wash your eyes with pure water and consult a doctor.

∫Ni-MH Batteries (Nickel Metal Hydride) Ni-MH batteries can be used when you charge them with the exclusive charger. However, wrong handling of the batteries may cause leakage, generation of heat, fire or explosion. Please be aware of the following issues:

• If any oxidation or foreign substance is found on the battery contacts, the batteries may not be charged correctly. Clean battery contacts and terminals of the recharger with a soft, dry cloth.

• Newly purchased Ni-MH batteries or those which have not been used for a long period of time may not reach full capacity after one charge. This is a feature of the batteries, not a malfunction. The overall performance will increase after repeating discharge/charge cycles several times.

• Batteries should be used to the point when the camera stops working before recharging. If you charge batteries without discharging enough, it can cause “memory effect”, whereby the overall operating time can be decreased.

• If “memory effect” occur, use the batteries until the camera stops working and then recharge them fully. Repeat the discharge/ charge cycles several times. The capacity of the batteries will be recovered.

• Ni-MH batteries will naturally discharge and the capacity will become lower even if they are not in use.

• Once Ni-MH batteries have reached full charge, do not charge them continuously.

• Do not peel off or scratch the covered seal.

• Read the operating instructions for the battery charger.

Ni-MH batteries have a limited life. The capacity of the batteries decreases gradually over time. If available time seems much shorter, the battery life may be expired. Purchase new batteries.
