Canon S2 IS Warning, Camera the Preparing, Never use batteries that look like this, Be careful to load the batteries with their positive (+) and negative

zWhile it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.

zNever mix new batteries together with batteries that have been used in other devices. The partially used batteries may leak.

zBe careful to load the batteries with their positive (+) and negative (-) ends in the right direction.

zNever mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers. All four batteries should be identical.

zBefore inserting the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth. Oil from one's skin or other dirt may cause a considerable reduction in the number of recordable images or reduce usage time.

zBattery performance deteriorates at low temperatures (especially with alkaline batteries). If you are using the camera in cold areas and batteries are running down faster than they should, you may be able to restore performance by placing batteries in an inner pocket to warm them up prior to use. But be careful that you don't put the batteries into a pocket together with a metal key chain or other metallic objects, as these objects may cause batteries to short-circuit.

zIf you do not plan to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries from the camera and store them in a safe place. Batteries may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of non-use.

Warning

Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is completely or partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk that such batteries may leak, overheat, or burst. Always check the seals on store-bought batteries before loading them, as some batteries may come with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defective seals.

Never use batteries that look like this.

Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeled off.

The positive electrode (plus terminal) is flat.

The negative terminal is correctly formed (protruding from the metal base), but the seal does not extend up over the edge of the metal base.
