Battery Precautions

.Precautions during Use

•Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera.

•Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than normal or even fail.

•Do not tear or remove the battery outer label.

•If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one.

•The included NP-82 battery is intended exclusively for use with this EXILIM digital camera. Never try to use it to power any other device. When purchasing a replacement or spare, be sure to purchase an NP-80 battery.

.Storage Precautions

•Storing the battery for a long time while it is charged can cause deterioration of battery characteristics. If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge before storing it.

•Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. A battery left in the camera can discharge and go dead, which will require some time to charge when you need to use the camera.

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

•To prevent over discharging of an unused battery, fully charge it, and then load it in the camera and fully use up the charge about once every six months.

Using the Camera in another Country

.Precautions during Use

•The bundled charger is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera and charger along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply requirements in your destination(s).

•Do not connect the charger to a power supply through a voltage converter or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

.Extra Batteries

•Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-82 or NP-80) is recommended while on a trip in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.
