Owner's Manual

Batteries: Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following
precautions when handling batteries:
•
Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment.
• Do
not expose the battery to flame or excessive heat.
• Keep
the battery terminals clean.
• Turn the product
off before replacing the battery.
• Remove the battery
from the camera or charger when not in use and replace the terminal
cover. These devices
draw minute amounts of charge even when off and could draw the
battery
down to the point that it will no longer function. If the battery will not be used for
some time, insert
it in the camera and run it flat before removing it and storing it in a location
with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25°C (59 to 77 OF; avoid hot or extremely cold
locations). Repeat this process at least once every
six months.
• Turning the camera
on and off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten
battery life. Batteries
that have been fully discharged must be charged before use.
• The internal temperature of the battery may rise while the battery is in use. Attempting to
charge the battery while the internal temperature is elevated will impair battery
performance, and
the battery may not charge or charge only partially. Wait for the battery
to cool before charging.
• Continuing
to charge the battery after it is fully charged can impair battery performance.
•
Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use.
• Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging. Failure to observe this
precaution could in very rare instances result in the charger showing
that charging is
complete when the battery is only partially charged. Remove and reinsert the battery to
begin charging again.
• A marked drop in
the time a fully charged battery retains its charge when used at room
temperature indicates
that it requires replacement. Purchase a new EN-EL 14 battery.
• Charge the battery before use. When taking photographs on
important occasions, ready a
spare
EN-EL 14 battery and keep it fully charged. Depending on your location, it may be
difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice. Note that on cold days, the
capacity
of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully charged before taking
photographs outside in cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a
warm place and exchange
the
two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource; recycle in accord
with local regulations.
