146 Battery z Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. z The batteries should not be immersed in water or sea water. z Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. z Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casing. z Use only recommended batteries and accessories. Failure to follow these precautions may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance. z Never use batteries with a torn exterior seal or visible damage. Always check the seals on store-bought batteries before loading them, as some batteries may come with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defective seals. Such batteries may leak, overheat or rupture, and be dangerous. Never use batteries that look like this. Batteries with all or part of the seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeled off. The positive electrode (plus terminal) is flat. The negative terminal is correctly formed (protruding from the metal base), but the seal does not extend up over the edge of the metal base. z Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging or when not in use to avoid fire and other hazards. z Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging. Leaving the units plugged in for a long period of time may cause them to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
