Polish the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery pack. z Do not cover the battery charger with anything, such as a tablecloth, cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly lead to fire. z Do not charge Battery other than Battery Pack NB- 2LH/NB-2L (sold separately) with the supplied battery charger. z The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera (even with the power turned off) or battery charger. This shortens the battery life. Remove the battery pack when the camera is not in use. z Do not allow any metal objects such as keyrings to touch the "+" and "-" terminals (Fig. A), as this can damage the battery pack. To carry the battery pack, or store it during periods of disuse, always replace the terminal cover (Fig. B). When using Battery Pack NB-2LH, you can distinguish between a discharged battery pack and fully charged battery pack by changing the direction of the battery cover (Fig. C and D).
