Battery Handling Precautions

zKeep the battery terminals clean at all times.

Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery and camera. Polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before charging or using the battery.

zAt low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and the low battery icon ( ) may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions, revive the battery by warming it in a pocket immediately before use.

zHowever, ensure that there are no metallic items in the pocket that could cause a short circuit, such as a key ring, etc.

The battery may be short circuiting.

z Do not allow any metal objects such	Fig. A	Fig. B
as key rings to touch the ( ) and
( ) terminals (Fig. A). To carry the
battery or store it during periods of
disuse, always replace the terminal
cover (Fig. B).
These conditions can damage the
battery.
