For Your Safety

Observe caution when handling batteries

Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling batteries for use in this prod- uct:

Before replacing the batteries, turn the product off. If you are using an AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.

Use only the batteries approved for use in this product (c 10). Do not combine old and new batter- ies or batteries of different makes or types.

If Nikon rechargeable EN-MH1 NiMH batteries are purchased separately, charge and use each of them as a set. Do not combine batteries from different pairs.

Insert batteries in the correct ori- entation.

Do not short or disassemble bat- teries or attempt to remove or break battery insulation or casing.

Do not expose batteries to flame or to excessive heat.

Do not immerse in or expose to water.

Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

Batteries are prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the batteries when no charge remains.

Discontinue use immediately should you notice any change in the batteries, such as discolora- tion or deformation.

If liquid from damaged batteries comes in contact with clothing or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Observe the following precautions when handling the MH-71 battery charger (available separately)

Keep dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock.

Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug should be removed with a dry cloth. Continued use could result in fire.

Do not handle the power cable or go near the battery charger dur- ing lightening storms. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.

Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or bend the power cable, place it under heavy objects, or expose it to heat or flame. Should the insulation be damaged and the wires become exposed, take it to a Nikon-authorized service rep- resentative for inspection. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.
