Nikon 25215 manual Batteries

•Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, close to equipment that produces strong magnetic fields, or in areas subject to extremes of temperature, for example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a hot day.

•To prevent mold or mildew, take the cam- era out of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shut- ter a few times before putting the camera away again.

•Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Re- place the terminal cover before putting the battery away.

Notes on the monitor

•The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate a malfunc- tion. Images recorded with the product will not be affected.

•Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.

•Do not apply pressure to the monitor; this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or lint on the monitor can be removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by rubbing the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

•Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

•Replace the monitor cover when trans- porting the camera or leaving it unat- tended.

Turn the product off before removing or dis- connecting the power source

Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forc- ibly cutting power to the product in these

circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental inter- ruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one location to another while the AC adapter is connected.

Batteries

•When you turn the device on, check the battery-level displayed in the control panel to determine whether the battery needs to be replaced. The battery needs to be replaced when the battery-level indicator is flashing.

•Ready a spare battery and keep it fully charged when taking photographs on im- portant occasions. Depending on your lo- cation, you may find it difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice.

•On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully charged before taking photographs outside in cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a warm place and exchange the two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

•Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth be- fore use.

•After removing the battery from the cam- era, be sure to replace the terminal cover.

Memory cards

•Turn the power off before inserting or removing memory cards. Inserting or removing cards with the power on could render them unusable.

•Insert memory cards as

shown in the illustration at right. Inserting cards upside down or back- wards could damage the camera or the card.
