CAUTION

•Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it.

•Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands.

•Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

•Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures.

•Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.

•Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low- temperature burn.

•When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:

•When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.

•In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera’s body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.

•Be careful with the strap.

•Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.

Battery Handling Precautions

Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.

DANGER

•The camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specified USB-AC adapter or charger. Do not use any other USB-AC adapters or chargers.

•Never heat or incinerate batteries.

•Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.

•Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc.

•To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc.

•If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention immediately.

•Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately.
