After installing the battery and/or after charging the battery, close the
battery cover and terminal cover securely
iIf any cover is not closed or is not closed completely, the camera will no
longer be waterproof. When closing a cover, close it securely while making
sure that no foreign object such as sand, hair, dust, etc. is caught in the
rubber seal.
iIf there is moisture inside the battery cover or terminal cover, after wiping
the moisture from all surfaces, use the supplied brush to remove any
foreign matter. Whenever foreign matter is adhering to the unit, use the
supplied brush to remove it.
Recharging when connected to a computer (page 135)
iThe battery can be recharged while the camera is connected to a
computer.
iUse only the supplied USB cable. Operation is not guaranteed if a different
USB cable is used.
iThe charging time is two to three times longer than when the AC adaptor is
used to charge the battery pack.
iIt is not possible to charge the battery if the status indicator flashes fast
and then turns off, or if it doesn't light at all. In this case, use the AC
adaptor to charge the battery.
iConnect the USB cable to the USB terminal on your computer. Do not
connect it to the USB terminal on the monitor or the keyboard, or to the
USB hub.
iIf the camera is not going to be used for an extended period of time, please
disconnect the USB cable from the camera.
Do not use the battery with the outer covering or label removed
iDoing so may result in malfunction.
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack
iA small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it
is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the
camera settings are correct.
To maximize the battery pack life
iThe battery pack is a consumable product, but the battery life can be
prolonged by heeding the following suggestions.
hDon’t leave the battery pack in a high-temperature environment, such as
outside in extremely hot weather in the summer.
hDon’t repeatedly charge the battery pack when it is fully charged. After a
full recharge, the battery should be used for a while before charging
again.
hFor prolonged periods of unuse, avoid fully charging the battery pack,
and store it in a cool dark place.
