GETTING READY

● PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
• Charge the battery in a location where the temperature
is in the range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95° F). Charging
outside this temperature range can cause charging to
take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.
• Very limited operation following a full charge indicates
that the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Replace the battery with a new one.
• Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol,
or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags.
Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead
to malfunction.
• This charger unit is intended to be correctly orientated
in a vertical or floor mount position.
● BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure you remove the battery when you do not
plan to use the camera for a long time. A battery left in
the camera discharges very small amounts of power
even when power is turned off, which can lead to a
dead battery or the need for longer charging before the
next use.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20°C (68 °F) or
lower).
● USING THE BATTERY
• When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in
the camera or stored in its case.
