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. Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions 37
