GETTING READY
●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.
●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
•See page 33 of this manual or the instructions that come with the optional charger for information about charging procedures and charging times.
•When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in the camera or stored in its case.
