2. To avoid damaging your eyes, never aim the camera directly into the sun, or any other extremely bright light source. 3. To avoid causing a fire or explosion, never use the camera in near flammable or explosive gases. 4. Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury: • Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation. • Accidentally swallowing a battery or small part. • Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or into the eyes of another child. 5. To avoid the hazards of fire or electrical shock, store the camera in a cool, dry location where it will not be subjected to high humidity or dust. 6. To avoid minor burns, never cover the flash with your hand when it is fired. Never touch the flash unit after continuous use. The flash unit becomes very hot during continuous operation. 7. If the camera is accidentally dropped in water, or if liquid is spilled into the camera, stop using the camera, allow the camera to dry, and then remove the batteries. Contact the nearest Olympus authorized service center. CAUTION 1. During operation of the camera, if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera, immediately switch the camera off, disconnect the optional AC adapter (if it is connected), and allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and carefully remove the batteries to avoid burning your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center immediately. 2. Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain high voltage points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock. 3. To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. 4. To avoid damaging the camera or causing a fire, never expose the camera to excessive heat. Camera Care and Storage Handling • Never store or use the camera for long periods in locations subject to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme variation in temperature, or strong shocks and constant vibration. Protect the camera at all times from dust and sand. • Never store the camera near any type of appliance or equipment which generates high temperatures, low temperatures, high or low humidity, or a strong magnetic field. Never use the camera in a factory or laboratory where flammable gases are present. • Never shake the camera or subject it to shock or strong vibration. • To avoid damaging its precision lens, never leave the camera pointing directly into the sun. • Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the batteries. Select a cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by pressing the shutter button to make sure that it is operating normally. • When the camera is mounted on a tripod, adjust the tripod head to re-position the camera; do not twist the camera. • Never touch the flash after it has been fired. Avoid using the flash for extended periods. Allow it to cool occasionally between shots. • To avoid injury from electrical shock, never attempt to disassemble or modify the camera in any way. CAUTION Selecting batteries for your camera • This camera can use four AA Ni-MH batteries, four AA alkaline batteries, four AA lithium batteries, four AA Ni-Cd batteries, or two CRV3 lithium battery packs. Use of Olympus brand batteries is strongly recommended. • Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. Using Ni-MH batteries is recommended. • AA manganese batteries cannot be used with this camera. • Always follow the battery recommendations and loading instructions. Incorrectly loading the batteries could cause the batteries to leak or overheating. 7
