FOR PROPER AND SAFE USE

Lithium-ion batteries

This camera operates on a small, but powerful lithium-ion battery. Misuse or abuse of the lithium-ion battery can cause damage or injury through fire, electric shock, or chemical leakage. Read and understand all warnings before using the battery.

DANGER

•Do not short, disassemble, damage, or modify the battery.

•Do not expose the battery to fire or high temperatures over 60°C (140°F).

•Do not expose the battery to water, or moisture. Water can corrode or damage the inter- nal battery safety devices and cause the battery to overheat, ignite, rupture, or leak.

•Do not drop or subject the battery to strong impacts. Impacts can damage the internal battery safety devices and cause the battery to overheat, ignite, rupture, or leak.

•Do not store the battery near or in metallic products.

•Do not use the battery with any other products.

•Only use the specified charger. An inappropriate charger may cause damage or injury through fire or electric shock.

•Do not use a leaking battery. If fluid from the battery enters your eye, immediately rinse the eye with plenty of fresh water and contact a doctor. If fluid from the battery makes contact with your skin or clothing, wash the area thoroughly with water.

•Only use or charge the battery in an environment with ambient temperatures between 0° and 40°C (32° and 104°F). Only store the battery in an environment with ambient temperatures between –20° and 35°C (–4° and 95°F) and a humidity of 45% to 85% RH.

WARNING

•Tape over the lithium-ion battery contacts to avoid short-circuiting during disposal; always follow local regulations for battery disposal.

•If charging is not completed after the specified period elapses, unplug the charger and discontinue charging immediately.
