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.
•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
•This lithium ion battery is intended for use with a CASIO Digital Camera only. For details about the camera models that this battery can be wed with, see the user documentation that comes with your camera.
•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.
•Though the actual service life of the battery depends on the environment under which it is used, you can expect to be able to recharge it about 500 times before it needs replacement.
•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.
