• Recycling Batteries
The battery charging stand supplied with the camera is designed to switch
automatically to the voltage (100-240V) and frequency (50Hz, 60Hz) of the
electricity supply in the country or region where used.
However, electrical socket shapes differ depending on the country or region.
Before traveling abroad, you are advised to check the socket shape in your
destination (see “Main Socket Types in the Major Countries and Regions of the
World” (p.20)) and take an appropriately shaped off-the-shelf adapter plug with
you. (Electrical socket shapes may vary depending on the region of the country.
Check the socket shape used in the region.)
The socket shape does not affect the charging method.
This symbol indicates that the battery is recyclable. Cover the
terminals with insulating tape and take the battery to a store
displaying this symbol.
Charging the Battery Abroad
• Use of an off-the-shelf transformer may lead to defective operation.
• Unplug the adapter plug from the power outlet when the battery charging
stand is not in use.
