| Battery Handling Precautions |
|
| |||
|
|
|
|
| Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst |
| ||||
|
|
|
|
| and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following |
| ||||
|
|
|
|
| important precautions to avoid problems with batteries. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Always use Alkaline batteries only. | |
|
|
|
|
| • | Make sure that the positive | + and negative | - ends of the batteries | ||
|
|
|
|
|
| are facing properly when you load them in the camera. |
| |||

| • Never mix batteries of different types. | Low Battery Indicator |
|
| |
• Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can cause serious | A low battery indicator ( |
| ) appears on the LCD whenever remain- | |

| damage to your camera. Remove batteries from the camera as | ing battery power drops below a certain level. | |||

|
|

Standard Battery Life |
|
|
| |
You can generally expect to get about 120 minutes of operation from |
|
|
| |
| a fresh set of LR6 (AM3) Alkaline batteries at normal temperature. |
|
|
| |
| Note that battery life is shortened by extreme cold. |
|
|
| |
| When this indicator appears, replace all four batteries with a fresh set | |||
| of new ones. Once the low battery indicator appears, you can expect | |||
| only about 10 more minutes of operation before total power failure. | |||
| Flash Memory |
|
| |
| The | |||
| memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image | |||
| data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If | |||
| batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the | |||
| AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory. | |||
