w Card
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.
w Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Its ability to generate power
comes from the chemical reaction that
takes place inside it. This reaction is
susceptible to 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).
If 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 on 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.
w 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 using the charger, be sure to
disconnect it 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.
