Observe caution when han-
dling batteries
Batteries may leak or explode if
improperly handled. Observe the
following precautions when han-
dling batteries for use in this prod-
uct:
• Before replacing the batteries,
turn the product off. If you are
using an AC adapter, be sure it is
unplugged.
• Use only the batteries approved
for use in this product (c 10). Do
not use other types. Do not mix
old and new batteries or batteries
of different makes or types.
• Charge and use each pair of
Nikon rechargeable EN-MH1
NiMH batteries as a set. Do not
mix batteries from different pairs.
• Insert batteries in the correct ori-
entation.
• Do not short or disassemble bat-
teries or attempt to remove or
break battery insulation or casing.
• Do not expose batteries to flame
or to excessive heat.
• Do not immerse in or expose to
water.
• Do not transport or store with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Batteries are prone to leakage
when fully discharged. To avoid
damage to the product, be sure
to remove the batteries when no
charge remains.
• Discontinue use immediately
should you notice any change in
the batteries, such as discolora-
tion or deformation.
• If liquid from damaged batteries
comes in contact with clothing or
skin, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the
Battery Charger MH-71
(available separately)
• Keep dry. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in fire or
electric shock.
• Dust on or near the metal parts of
the plug should be removed with
a dry cloth. Continued use could
result in fire.
• Do not handle the power cable or
go near the battery charger dur-
ing lightening storms. Failure to
observe this precaution could
result in electric shock.
• Do not damage, modify, forcibly
tug or bend the power cable,
place it under heavy objects, or
expose it to heat or flame. Should
the insulation be damaged and
the wires become exposed, take it
to a Nikon-authorized service rep-
resentative for inspection. Failure
to observe these precautions
could result in fire or electric
shock.
