Precautions for Use (Please be sure to read before use) Warning (regarding the batteries) 1) Please carefully check the batteries as well as the package to verify the nominal voltage rating of the batteries before use. Be sure not to use batteries with a nominal voltage rating of 1.5V or higher or batteries which have no nominal voltage information. Using such batteries may result fire, generation of smoke, or personal injury. 2) In rare cases, some AA-size lithium batteries will reach extremely high temperatures. For your safety, please refrain from using AA-size lithium batteries. 3) Never attempt to disassemble batteries, charge the batteries (except for Ni-MH rechargeable batteries), leave batteries in a hot place, short circuit the contacts, or throw them into a fire. These actions can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which may lead to fire or personal injury. (Rechargeable batteries are batteries which can be charged and reused many times.) 4) Always replace both batteries at the same time. In addition, please do not use different brand batteries together or a new battery with an old battery. Doing so can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which may lead to fire or personal injury. 5) Please remove the batteries if the binoculars are not to be used for an extended period or if the batteries have been depleted. If the batteries are left inside, they may leak, causing malfunction, corrosion, or fire. 6) Insert the batteries with the + and - terminals in the correct directions. Not doing so can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which may lead to fire or personal injury. Caution (regarding the batteries) 7) If any liquid from inside the batteries leaks out and contacts your skin, be sure to wash the liquid off thoroughly. 8) If the lamp does not light even when you press the Image Stabilizer button, the battery power is low. Replace the batteries with two new batteries at the same time from the same brand. ENG-4
