•Do not subject the batteries or the battery contacts to any moisture.

•Do not peel off or scratch the covered seal.

•Do not drop, hit or do anything that causes impact to the batteries.

•Do not use batteries that show signs of leakage, deformation, discolouration or other defects.

•Do not store batteries in high humidity or high temperature environments.

•Keep batteries away from children.

•When you replace batteries, always use two of the same type.

•If you will not be using the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
