Panasonic DMC-SZ9 manual Preparation

Preparation

•Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug. Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat generated.

•Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one or a genuine Panasonic USB connection cable (DMW-USBC1: optional).

•Do not use any other AC adaptors except the supplied one.

•Do not use a USB extension cable.

•The AC adaptor (supplied) and USB connection cable (supplied) are for this camera only. Do not use them with other devices.

•Remove the battery after use. (The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.)

•The battery becomes warm after using and during and after charging. The camera also becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.

•The battery can be recharged even when it still has some power left, but it is not recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (Since characteristic swelling may occur.)

•If a problem occurs in the power outlet, such as a power outage, charging may not be completed normally. If this happens, disconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and connect it again.

•If the charging lamp does not turn on or blinks when you connect the AC adaptor (supplied) or PC, this indicates that the charging has been stopped because the unit is not in a temperature range suitable for charging, and does not indicate a fault.

Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) in a location where the ambient temperature (and the temperature of battery) is in a 10 oC to 30 oC (50 oF to 86 oF) range, and try charging again.
