About the battery

Low battery message

When the batteries discharge completely, the battery icon turns red and a message ‘Low Battery’ appears. Replace with new AA alkaline batteries.

Notes about using the battery

•Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the battery life.

•When you use the camera for an extended period, the area around the battery chamber may become warm. This does not affect the normal use of the camera.

•In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery life may decrease.

•Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will return to normal in milder temperatures.

•Primary cells cannot be recharged. If you try to recharge it, the batteries may leak.

•Battery capacity may vary by manufacturer.

Cautions about using the battery

Protect batteries and memory cards from damage

Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a fire or electric shock.

Handle and dispose of batteries with care

•Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when you dispose of used batteries.

•Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when they are overheated.
