Usage cautions and notes

Batteries

●●Be sure to remove the batteries from the camera if you are not using it for a long period of time.

••If the batteries are left in the camera, a small electrical current continues to flow even when the camera is turned off and the batteries will be gradually drained.

••If the temperature is too high or low or the humidity is high, the terminals may rust causing a malfunction.

••Be sure to store the batteries in cool (15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)) location with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH), where the temperature does not change sharply.

••Keep batteries away from toddlers and children.

●●Do not drop, throw, or subject batteries to other strong impact.

••If you drop the batteries accidentally, make sure that the terminals have not been damaged.

••Do not use batteries that show signs of leakage, deformation, discoloration, etc. If battery leakage occurs, remove the batteries, thoroughly wipe dry the battery compartment, and then insert new batteries or fully charged Ni-MH batteries.

●●Always use the batteries in dry and clean conditions.

••Do not immerse the batteries in water or seawater or wet the terminals.

••If there is any foreign substance such as grease or dirt on the battery poles, the recording/playback time may become extremely short. Before inserting the batteries, carefully clean the poles with a soft dry cloth.

●●Do not peel off or scratch the battery covering.

••Do not use commercially available batteries that are entirely or partly uncovered. Do not use batteries with flat poles. Using such batteries may cause leakage, heat generation or explosion.

●●Take spare batteries when going out.

••Be aware that the recording time is reduced in low temperature conditions such as at a ski slope. Battery performance deteriorates when the ambient temperature is low (10 °C (50 °F) or less) and the recording/playback time may become extremely short. In particular, when using alkaline batteries, warm them in your pocket etc. before using them. Make sure that pocket heaters or metal objects such as lighters do not come into contact with the batteries when warming them in your pocket etc. The battery performance will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

••Battery performance may vary greatly depending on the brand used, the storage life from the date of manufacture, and the storage conditions of the batteries.

••Depending on the temperature and the conditions of use, the camera may not operate properly or the batteries may run out (the remaining battery power may not be accurately displayed). This is not a malfunction.

••Expended batteries may temporarily recover some performance if they are left for a period of time. However, they cannot be used for an extended period. Be sure to replace them with new batteries.
