䡲This camera uses four AA nickel metal hydride
batteries, AA lithium batteries, AA alkaline batteries or
AA NiCd batteries. (Olympus brand AA nickel metal
hydride batteries are recommended.)
䡲Do not use 3 V manganese batteries. Besides
shortening battery life, manganese batteries may
overheat and damage the camera.
䡲Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use of batteries
can cause fluid leak, heat generation, or other
damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load
them correctly.
䡲The batteries may be temporarily disabled when
exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera
and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold
environment. Batteries that are weak in cold
temperatures will be restored under normal
temperatures.
䡲Sweat, oil, and so on, can prevent a battery’s
terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid this,
wipe both terminals before loading the battery.
䡲Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long
trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to
obtain abroad.
䡲When using nickel metal hydride or NiCd batteries,
make sure to charge them fully with the correct battery
charger.
䡲Read instructions carefully before handling nickel
metal hydride or NiCd batteries.
