GETTING READY

•Should you ever notice any of the following conditions while using, charging, or storing a battery, immediately remove it from the camera or charger, and keep it away from open flame:

—Fluid leaking

—Emission of a strange odor

—Heat emission

—Battery discoloration

—Battery deformation

—Any other battery abnormality

•If the battery does not achieve full charge after the normal charging time has passed, stop charging. Continued charging creates the risk of 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 page 31 of this User’s Guide and the instructions that come with the optional charger before using or charging the battery.

•If the battery is to be used by young children, make sure that a responsible adult makes them aware of the precautions and proper handling instructions and make sure that they handle the battery correctly.

•Should fluid from the battery accidentally get onto clothing or your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can cause skin irritation.

●PRECAUTIONS DURING USE

•The battery is designed for use with this CASIO digital camera only.

•Use only the USB cradle that comes with the camera or the specified optional charger to charge the battery. Never use any other type of charger for charging.

•Use of a battery in cold environments shortens the operating time you can expect on a full charge. Charge

the battery in a location where the temperature is in the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside this temperature range can cause charging to take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.

•Very limited operation following a full charge indicates that the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.

•Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags. Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead to malfunction.
