Charger

•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.

•We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or a cabinet.
