Important safety instructions CAUTION Selecting Batteries for Your Camera • This camera can use four AA NiMH batteries, four AA Alkaline batteries, four AA lithium batteries, four AA NiCd batteries, or two CRV3 lithium battery packs. Use of Olympus brand batteries is strongly recommended. • Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. And it may runs out extremely shorter period than CRV3 or NiMH. Using NiMH 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. • When using the camera on battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and extra batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at ambient temperature. • Perspiration or oil from your hands on the battery contacts could prevent them from operating. Before loading batteries, wipe the terminals with a dry, clean cloth. • Before going on a long trip, especially before traveling abroad, purchase an ample supply of extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while traveling. • Always recharge NiMH or NiCd batteries with a charger recommended for use with these batteries. • Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the instructions provided with purchase of these batteries. • To avoid personal injury or damage to the camera, always inspect batteries before loading. If you notice leaking, damage to the battery cover or insulation, discoloration, warping or any other abnormality do not use the batteries. • Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries: Operation 32° ~ 104°F Charge 32° ~ 104°F Storage 4° ~ 86°F • Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten battery life or affect battery performance. Always unload the batteries from the camera before storing the camera and batteries for a long period. 13
