•Do not charge the battery by any unauthorized means. Attempting to charge the battery by an unauthorized means creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and explosion.

•Do not expose or immerse the battery in fresh water or salt water. Doing so can damage the battery, and cause deterioration of its performance and loss of service life.

•Use only the provided battery or type of battery and charger that came with your camera. Using other types of battery or charger may damage the equipment and invalidate the warranty.

•Failure to observe any of the following precautions creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and explosion.

–Never use or leave the battery near open flame.

–Do not expose the battery to heat or fire.

–Never carry or store the battery together with items that can conduct electricity (necklaces, pencil lead, etc.).

–Never disassemble the battery, pierce it with a needle, or expose it to strong impact (hit it with a hammer, step on it, etc.), and never apply solder to it. Never place the battery into a microwave oven, heater, high-pressure generating device, etc.

•Should you ever notice leakage, strange odor, heat generation, discoloration, deformation, or any other abnormal condition while using, charging, or storing a battery, immediately remove it from the camera and keep it away from open flame.

•Do not use or leave the battery under direct sunlight, in an automobile parked in the sun, or in any other area subject to high temperatures. Doing so can damage the battery, and cause deterioration of its performance and loss of service life.

•Continued charging creates the risk of battery overheating, fire, and explosion.

•Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery fluid get into your eyes accidentally, immediately rinse them with clean tap water and then consult a physician.

•Be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the camera and special USB adapter before using or charging the battery.
