zDo not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key holders. It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.

zBefore you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects. Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.

zUse only recommended batteries and accessories. Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.

zUse the specified battery charger to charge Battery Pack NB-2LH. Use of other chargers may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire or electrical shock.

zDisconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging and when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards. Continuous use over a long period may cause a unit to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
