TIPS
ON
BATTERY
USE--------
• Keep batteri
es
away from infants and small children.
In
case a battery
is
accidentally swallowed, call a
doctor
immediately
as
the material inside the
batteries may
be
fatal.
•
Battery power falls off
in
extremely cold temper-
atures and this may cause the camera
to
cease to
operate.
In
this situation, use new batteries and
protect the camera body from the
cold. Note that
battery power
will
be
recovered
as
soon
as
the
temperature becomes
normal.
•
When not using the camera for a long period of
time, take the batteries out and store them
in
a cool
(below
20°C), dry place. Should the batteries
be
left
in
the battery chamber for a long period of time,
insufficient contact may occur due to battery
con-
tamination. Thus, it
is
good practice to periodically
clean the batteries and the contact section
in
the
battery chamber with a soft
cloth.
If
the battery
chamber
is
stained
by
a leaking battery, remove
the batteries
at
once and clean the chamber.
• Never mix new and
old
batteries or batteries of
different makes.
• Always check battery power before every shooting
session.
It
is
a good idea
to
have spare batteries
on
hand during a lengthy shooting assignment.
• In normal use, a battery's lifespan
is
about one
year. The battery packed with this camera,
how-
ever,
is
for test purposes only
so
its lifespan may
be
shorter than usual.
•
Never disassemble batteries or dispose of them
by
burning.
