Battery Handling Precautions Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns. The following AA (R6) batteries cannot be used. DANGER • Use only the Olympus brand NiMH batteries and proper fitting charger. • Never heat or incinerate batteries. • Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc. • Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to hightemperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc. • To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc. • If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention immediately. • Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately. WARNING • Keep batteries dry at all times. • To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating or causing a fire or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use with this product. • Never mix batteries (old and new batteries, charged and uncharged batteries, batteries of different manufacture or capacity, etc.). • Never attempt to charge alkaline, lithium or CR-V3 lithium battery packs. • Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions. • Do not use batteries if their body is not covered by the insulating sheet or if the sheet is torn, as this may cause fluid leaks, fire or injury. CAUTION • Do not remove batteries immediately after using the camera. Batteries may become hot during prolonged use. • Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period. Batteries whose bodies are only partially or not at all covered by an insulating sheet. Batteries whose - terminals are raised, but not covered by an insulating sheet. Batteries whose - terminals are flat and not completely covered by an insulating sheet. (Such batteries cannot be used even if the - terminals are partially covered.) • If NiMH batteries are not charged within the specified time, stop charging them and do not use them. • Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken. • If a battery leaks, becomes discolored, deformed or becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera. • If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately. • Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration. 50 EN
