• While
the
battery
is
in storage, charge it
at
least
once
every six
months
and
then
use
the
camera
to
run
it
flat again be-
fore storing
it
in a cool,
dry
location.
• Always remove
the
battery
from
the
camera
or
charger
when
it
is
not
being
used. Left installed,
minute
amounts
of
current
flow
even
when
unused, and
the
battery
may
become
excessively
drained and
no
longer
function.
• After
removing
the
battery
from
the
camera
or
charger, replace
the
terminal
cover and store in a cool place.
• Keep
the
battery terminals clean.
•
Should
you
notice
smoke
or
an unusual smell
coming
from
the
charger,
unplug
it,
taking
care
to
avoid burns. Take
the
charger
to
a Nikon representative for in-
spection.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource.
Please recycle used batteries
_in
accor-
dance
with
local regulations.
