the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low,
the operating time of the battery will become shorter.

Always remove the battery after use.

• Store the removed battery in the battery carrying case (supplied).

It you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the
body of the battery and the terminals are damaged.

• Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the

camera.

Bring charged spare batteries when going out.

• Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter

in low temperature conditions such as at a ski resort.

•When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge

the battery in the country that you are travelling in.

Dispose of unusable battery.

•The battery has a limited life.
• Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.
•The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the

RBRC hotline at 1-800-822-8837 for information.

Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins etc.).

•This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a battery.

Charger

• If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.
• Keep the charger

1

m (3.28 feet) or more away from radios.

•The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used. This is not a malfunction.
•After use, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical outlet. (A very small

amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)

• Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean.

Do not leave the card where the temperature is high, where electromagnetic waves

or static electricity are easily generated or exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not bend or drop the card.

•The card may be damaged or the recorded content may be damaged or deleted.
• Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the card.
• Do not allow dirt, dust or water to get into the terminals on the back of the card and do not touch

the terminals with your fingers.

When not using the camera for a long period of lime

• Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature: [Recommended

temperature:15

°C

to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]

•Always remove the battery and the card from the camera.
• If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off. If

the battery continues to be left in the camera, it will discharge excessively and may become

unusable even if charged.

•When storing the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once a year.

Remove the battery from the camera and store it again after it has completely discharged.

•We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or a cabinet.
