Warning
• When you store or use the battery, keep the battery out of the reach of children. If the
battery is accidentally swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
• Do not wet the battery. Do not immerse the battery in water or in the sea.
• Do not expose the battery to strong impacts or damage the battery.
• Discontinue use immediately should you notice anything unusual such as leakage,
discoloration, or deformation.
• If battery fluid gets on your skin or clothing, wash immediately in clean water. The fluid
could cause harm to your skin.
Caution
• The battery is exclusively for use in Olympus digital cameras. Do not use in any other
equipment.
• Dirt on the plus or minus terminals may cause contact failure. Wipe with a dry cloth.
• The battery becomes hot after prolonged use of the camera. Do not attempt to remove it
immediately. This could result in burns.
• In general, as the temperature falls, battery performance also temporarily deteriorates. When
taking pictures in cold regions, keep the camera warm by putting it inside your coat or
clothing. Reduced battery performance due to low temperature will recover when the camera
is returned to normal temperatures.
• Repeated recharging leads to gradual deterioration in the performance of the battery.
When the working time of the battery starts getting shorter even though it has been
charged for the specified length of time, the battery can be regarded as having reached
the end of its serviceable life. When this happens, replace it with a new battery.
• Used rechargeable batteries are a valuable resource. Cover the plus and minus terminals with
tape and take the rechargeable battery to an electrical shop for recycling.
