E CARE AND STORAGE HANDLING Ⅲ Do not use or store the camera in places exposed to direct sunlight (e.g. a beach in summer), excessive heat, humidity, extreme variations of temperature and humidity, sand or dust, excessive moisture, or vibrations (e.g. in a car). Ⅲ Do not use or store the camera near a heater, cooler, or humidifier, or near a fire, magnetic fields, or volatile materials. Ⅲ Do not shake the camera or subject it to shocks. Ⅲ Do not leave the camera with its lens pointing towards direct sunlight. This will damage the lens. Ⅲ Do not leave the camera unused for a long period of time. This may cause battery leakage and can lead to problems including the growth of mold in the camera. Before using, press the Shutter release button to check operation. Ⅲ Do not turn the camera when it is mounted on a tripod. Turn the tripod head instead. Ⅲ Do not touch any of the camera's internal parts. Ⅲ Do not use the flash for extended periods as this can cause the flash to become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it is hot. Ⅲ Do not improperly open or modify the camera, as it may result in a shock or injury. BATTERY HANDLING Ⅲ This camera uses one 3V lithium battery pack (CR-V3) or two AA NiMH batteries. An Olympus brand 3V lithium battery is recommended. Ⅲ AA alkaline, manganese or lithium batteries cannot be used. Ⅲ Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leak, heat generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load them correctly. Ⅲ The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that are weak in cold temperatures will be restored under normal temperatures. Ⅲ Sweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery's terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the battery. Ⅲ Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad. Ⅲ When using NiMH batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the correct battery charger. Ⅲ Read instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries. 4
