This charger is exclusively for use with Olympus CAMEDIA digital cameras. Never use in combination with other equipment.

1Discharging

●Batteries self-discharge while they are not in use. Be sure to charge them regularly before use.

2Battery life

●Charging and discharging are possible for approximately 300 times depending on their use.

3Operating temperature

●Batteries are chemical products. Battery efficiency may change for a time even within the recommended temperature range, but this is not a malfunction.

Note:

New batteries or batteries that have not been used for a long time (more than one month) may not be fully charged. This is not a malfunction, but is a characteristic of the

battery. Charge them two or three times before using them for the first time or when they have not been used for a long period.

●When you dispose of dead batteries always observe the laws and regulations regarding the disposable of such items.

●If NiMH rechargerble batteries are not fully discharged, protect against short-circuiting (e.g. by taping the contacts) before disposing.

For customers in Germany

Olympus has a contract with the GRS (Joint Battery Disposal Association) in Germany to ensure environmentally friendly disposal.
