GETTING READY

BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

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

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

USING THE BATTERY

See the User’s Guide that comes with the special charger unit and the digital camera for information about charging procedures and charging time.

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

Charger Unit Precautions

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

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

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

The charger unit becomes slightly warm during charg- ing. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Unplug the charger unit from the power outlet when- ever you are not using it.
