BATTERY HANDLING

■This camera uses four AA alkaline batteries, AA nickel metal hydride batteries, AA lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries. (Olympus brand AA nickel metal hydride batteries are recommended.)

■Do not use AA manganese batteries. Besides shortening battery life, manganese batteries may overheat and damage the camera.

■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.

■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.

■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.

■Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.

■When using nickel metal hydride batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the correct battery charger.

■Read instructions carefully before handling nickel metal hydride batteries or NiCd batteries.
