3CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE BATTERYSAFETY PRECAUTIONSBattery type and danger level(Note: The cautionary notes differ depending on themodel you purchased. Please check the safetyprecautions corresponding to your model.)Rechargeable Li-ionbattery packAlkalinebatteriesLithium batteryfor remotecontrol unitk Use only batteries manufactured by SANYOi Do not use batteries other than the specified model numbers from SANYO. Especially for safetypurposes, do not use imitation products. If dry-cell batteries or other rechargeable batteries areused, the batteries may generate heat, rupture, or leak and result in fire, injury, burns or damage tosurroundings.DANGER —k If there is leaking, discoloration, change of shape, rise in temperature, damaged exterior,strange odor or any other abnormal condition, immediately discontinue use and remove thebattery from the camera, taking care to keep it well away from firei Continuing to use the battery under any of these conditions may result in fire, injury, explosion orother serious damage.i If battery fluid is leaking, placing the battery in close proximity to a fire or other heat source mayignite the battery fluid and result in fire, damage, eruption of battery fluid, or smoke fumes.DANGER WARNINGk Do not transform, take apart, or modifyi Any modification, by transforming, disassembling, or directly soldering to the battery, etc., willpossibly cause the battery to catch fire, explode, or leak or spew battery fluid. DANGER WARNINGk Do not connect the (+) and (–) terminals with a wire or other metal implement. Do not carryloose or keep with necklaces, hairpins, etc.i Doing so may result in a short circuit, high voltage flow, fire, explosion, leaking or spewing batteryfluid, or heat generation. Metal such as a wire or necklace, etc. may cause heat to be generated.DANGER WARNINGk Do not throw the battery in the fire or subject it to heati Doing so may cause the insulation to melt, damage the gas discharge valve and safetymechanisms, or ignite the battery fluid, resulting in fire or explosion. DANGER WARNINGk Do not drop, hit, or submit the battery to strong shocksi If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are broken, an abnormal chemical reaction mayoccur inside the battery, or cause the battery to catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, orgenerate heat.DANGER WARNINGk Do not allow the battery to come into contact with fresh or salt water, or allow the terminals tobecome weti If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are damaged by corrosion, an abnormal chemicalreaction may occur inside the battery, or cause the battery to catch fire, explode, leak or spewbattery fluid, or generate heat.DANGER WARNINGk Use only the supplied or specified docking station and AC adaptor/chargeri If another charger is used, the battery pack may be overcharged, or recharged with an abnormalvoltage, causing an abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or cause the battery pack to catch fire,explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.DANGER —k Use the battery pack only in the specified devicei If the battery pack is used in a device other than that specified, it may cause an abnormal voltageflow, or cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat. DANGER WARNINGk Do not peel or damage the outer casingi Damaging the outer case, inserting nails, hitting with a hammer, stepping on the battery pack, etc.may cause a short circuit inside the battery or cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak orspew battery fluid, or generate heat.DANGER WARNINGk If the battery is leaking and the battery fluid gets on your skin or clothing, immediately rinsewith clean wateri If the battery fluid gets into your eyes, you risk losing your eyesight. Immediately rinse your eyeswith clean, running water, and seek medical attention right away. Any battery fluid that comes intocontact with your skin or clothing may harm your skin. Immediately rinse the area with clean,running water.DANGER WARNINGk Insert the battery correctly, as indicatedi When installing the battery, pay attention to the indicated polarity (+ and –), and insert it correctly.i If the battery pack is installed with the wrong orientation, it may cause an abnormal chemicalreaction while in the charger, an abnormal voltage flow when it is used, or cause the battery tocatch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.DANGER WARNINGk Always stop the recharging after the prescribed recharge time, even if the battery pack is notfully chargedi If you continue to recharge the battery pack, it may cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode,leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.WARNING —k Charge the battery pack before using iti Always recharge the battery pack before using it for the first time, or when using it after it has beenkept in storage for a long time. During recharging, the battery pack may be warm. This is normaland does not indicate a malfunction.CAUTION —k Note concerning the battery after usei When removing the battery, turn off the camera and allow the battery to cool down before removingit. CAUTION —k Disposal of and recycling the batteryi When disposing of used batteries, please consult the laws and regulations in your area for properbattery disposal.i Lithium-ion batteries: To conserve the environment and for efficient use of natural resources,please discharge the used battery, cover the (+) and (–) terminals with tape and recycle theinsulated battery.CAUTIONEF
