•Keep the charger 1 m (3.28 feet) or more away from radios.

•The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used. This is not a malfunction.

•After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet. (A very small amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)

•Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean.

Card

Do not leave the card where the temperature is high, where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated or exposed to direct sunlight.

temperature:15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]

•Always remove the battery and the card from the camera.

•If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off. If the battery continues to be left in the camera, it will discharge excessively and may become unusable even if charged.

•When storing the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year. Remove the battery from the camera and store it again after it has completely discharged.
