GETTING READY

If the battery does not achieve full charge after the normal charging time has passed, stop charging. Con- tinued charging creates the risk of overheating, fire, and explosion.

Battery fluid accidentally getting into your eyes can damage your eyes. Immediately rinse your eyes with clean tap water and then consult a physician.

Be sure to read the User’s Guide that comes with the camera and special charger unit before using or charging the battery.

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 as con- tained in the User’s Guide, 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 battery is designed for use with a CASIO digital camera only. See your camera’s Users Guide to find out if it supports use of this battery.

Use only the special charger unit to charge the bat- tery. Never use any other type of charger unit for charging.

This battery initially not charged. Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the first time.

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 tempera-

ture 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 fully charge indi- cates that the battery has reached the end of its ser- vice life. Replace the battery with a new one.
