For Your Safety

•Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries with different charge levels, or batteries of different types.

•If the camera will not be used for an extend- ed period, remove the batteries. Note that the camera clock will be reset.

•The batteries may be warm to the touch immediately after use. Turn the camera off and allow the batteries to cool before handling.

•Battery capacity tends to decrease at low temperatures. Keep spare batteries in a pocket or other warm place and exchange as necessary. Cold batteries may recover some of their charge when warmed.

•Fingerprints and other stains on the battery terminals can impair battery performance. Thoroughly clean the terminals with a soft, dry cloth before inserting them in the camera.

If the batteries leak, clean the battery compartment thoroughly before inserting new batteries.

If fl uid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothing, fl ush

the affected area with water. If fluid enters your eyes, immediately flush the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes. Failure to observe this precaution could result in permanent visual impairment.

■Ni-MH Batteries

The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced when new, after long periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunc- tion. Capacity can be increased by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the discharge option in the camera setup menu and recharging them using a battery charger (sold separately).

QCAUTION: Do not use the discharge option with alkaline batteries.

The camera draws a small amount of current even when off. Ni-MH batteries that have been left in the camera for an extended period may be drawn down to the point that they no longer hold a charge. Battery performance may also drop if the batteries are run down in a device such as a fl ashlight. Use the discharge option in the camera setup menu to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that no longer hold a charge even after repeatedly being discharged and recharged have reached the end of their service life and must be replaced.

Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery charger (sold separately). Batteries may become warm to the touch after charging. Refer to the instructions provided with the charger for more information. Use the charger with compatible batteries only.

Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use.

■Disposal

Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulations.

AC Power Adapters (Available Separately)

This section applies to all camera models. Use only FUJIFILM AC power adapters designated for use with this camera. Other adapters could damage the camera.

•The AC power adapter is for indoor use only.

•Be sure the DC plug is securely connected to the camera.

•Turn the camera off before disconnecting the adapter. Disconnect the adapter by the plug, not the cable.

•Do not use with other devices.

•Do not disassemble.

•Do not expose to high heat and humidity.

•Do not subject to strong physical shocks.

•The adapter may hum or become hot to the touch during use. This is normal.

•If the adapter causes radio interference, reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
