GETTING READY

BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

Make sure you remove the battery from the camera when you do not plan to use it for a long time. A battery left in the camera discharges very small amounts of power even when power is turned off, which can lead to a dead battery or the need for longer charging before the next use.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).

USING THE BATTERY

When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in the camera or stored in its case.

Battery Charger Precautions

Never plug the battery charger into an outlet whose voltage rating is different from that marked on the battery charger. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.

Never plug in or unplug the battery charger while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric shock.

Do not plug the battery charger into an outlet or extension cord that is shared by other devices. Doing so creates the risk of fire, malfunction, and electric shock.

The battery charger becomes slightly warm during charging. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet whenever you are not using it.

Always make sure that the battery charger is on a level surface when using it for charging.
