USING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY

(CONCERNING THE DIGITAL CAMERA)

General precautions for the batteries

œUse the alkaline batteries or other specified batteries with this

digital camera. Manganese batteries cannot be used, since they

have a short battery life and may overheat, causing damage to the

digital camera.

œDo not use alkaline batteries together with Ni-Cd batteries, or batteries

of different types or different brands at the same time.

œMake sure not to reverse the polarities ((+) and (–)) when installing the

batteries. Install the batteries as described by the indicated polarity.

œUsing different types of batteries at the same time may generate heat

or cause the batteries to leak, resulting in fire, injury or burns, or

damage to the digital camera and other nearby objects.

œUse only specified batteries. Using batteries without protective casings

or other inferior products may cause a fire, injury, or burns.

œThe batteries may be warm immediately after the digital camera

is used. If removing the batteries, turn off the digital camera and

allow the batteries to cool down before removing them.

œIf a battery is leaking and the electrolyte gets on your skin or

clothing, immediately rinse with clean water. If the electrolyte

gets into your eyes, you risk losing your eyesight. Immediately

rinse your eyes with clean, running water, and seek medical attention right

away.

œDo not drop or hit the batteries, or submit them to strong shocks.

œIf the digital camera is not going to be used for a long period of time,

remove the batteries and store them in a cool place. (When the batteries

are removed for a long period, the time and date settings will be cleared.)

œWhen disposing of the batteries, make sure to follow all applicable

regulations.

œIf used at temperatures below 10°C, the service life of the batteries will be

shorter than normal (except lithium batteries (CR-V3)).

œWhen using rechargeable batteries, use them after being fully charged.

œAlways read the instruction manuals that may come with the batteries or

the battery charger you purchase before use.
