Battery Care
• 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, dry 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.
• Remove the battery
from
the
camera
or
charger when
not
in
use.
The
camera and charger
draw
minute
amounts
of
charge even
when
off
and
could draw
the
battery
down
to
the
point
that
it
will
no
longer function.
