Precautions
for
Use
If
improperly handled, batteries may rupture
or
leak, causing
the
product
to
corrode. Observe
the
following
precautions when handling
batteries:
- Turn
the
product
off
before replacing
the
battery.
- Batteries may
be
hot
after extended use.
- Keep
the
battery terminals clean.
-
Use
only batteries approved
for
use in this equipment.
- Do
not
short
or
disassemble batteries
or
expose
them
to
flame
or
excessive heat.
- Replace
the
terminal cover
when
the
battery
is
not
inserted
in
the
camera
or
charger.
If
the
battery
is
hot,
for
example immediately after use, wait
for
it
to
cool
before charging.
Attempting
to
charge
the
battery while its internal
temperature
is
elevated will impair battery performance, and
the
battery may
not
charge
or
charge only partially.
If
the
battery will
not
be used
for
some time, insert
it
in
the
camera and
run
it
flat before removing
it
from
the
camera
for
storage. The battery
should be stored in a cool location
with
an
ambient
temperature
of
15
°C
to
25
°C (59 °F
to
77
°
F).
Avoid
hot
or
extremely cold locations.
Batteries should be charged
within
six months
of
use. During long
periods
of
disuse, charge
the
battery and use
the
camera
to
run
it
flat
once every six months before returning
it
to
a cool location
for
storage.
