hAA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be
used with this camera.
Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium batteries in your
FinePix 3800 because the heat generated by the
batteries could damage the camera or cause
malfunctions.
hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between
brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be
shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the
camera.
hDo not use the batteries that are leaking, deformed,
discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.
hDo not store the batteries in very warm or moist locations.
hKeep the batteries out of reach of infant and young
children.
h
When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the
battery polarity (
>
and
<
) is as indicated on the camera.
hDo not use new batteries together with used batteries. In
the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged
and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries
of different types or brands together.
hIf you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of
time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that if
the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time
and date settings are cleared.)
hThe batteries may feel warm immediately after being
used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera
off and wait until the batteries cool down.
h
When replacing the batteries, always fit 4 new batteries.
Here, “new batteries” refers to either recently purchased
unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride)
batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.
h
In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below),
battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they
can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true of
alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your
pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them
into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the
batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the
warmer.
