For Your Safety

•Do not use new with used batter- ies. Do not use charged and dis- charged batteries together.

•Do not use different types or brands of batteries at the same time.

•If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera. Note if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared.

•The batteries feel warm right af- ter being used. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off and wait for the batteries to cool down.

•Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or locations, warm the batteries by placing them in- side your garments before use. Batteries do not work well when cold. They will work again when the temperature returns to normal.

•Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals makes the bat- teries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

If any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly with water. Note that battery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.

■Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly

•Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can be- come “deactivated”. Also, repeat- edly charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially discharged can cause them to suffer from the “memory effect”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or affected by “memory” suffer from the prob- lem of only providing power for a short time after being charged. To prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them several times using the camera’s “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function.

Deactivation and memory are spe- cific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults.

See Owner’s Manual for the proce- dure for “Discharging rechargeable batteries”.

CAUTION

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function when alkaline batteries being used.

•To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold sepa- rately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to make sure that the charger is used cor- rectly.

•Do not use the battery charger to charge other batteries.

•Note that the batteries feel warm after being charged.

•Due to the way the camera is con- structed, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period will over- discharge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.

•Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result.

•Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in a flashlight). Use the “Discharging re- chargeable batteries” function pro- vided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

•Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a battery can only be used for a short time even after repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end of its service life.

■Disposing of Batteries

•When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

3Notes on both models ( 1 , 2 )

■AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter can be damaged to your digital camera.

For details on the AC power adapter, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera.

•Use the AC power adapter for in- door use only.

•Plug the connection cord plug se- curely into the DC input terminal.

•Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital cam- era before disconnecting the cord from the DC input terminal. To dis- connect, pull out the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.

•Do not use the AC power adapter with any device other than your camera.

•During use, the AC power adapter will become hot to the touch. This is normal.
