Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries and memory cards from damage
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a fire or electric shock.
Handle and dispose of batteries with care
•Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when you dispose of used batteries.
•Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when they are overheated.
