• Do not allow metal or water, or any other fluid to get into the battery compartment or onto the
battery terminals.
Should any foreign object enter the main unit, remove the battery and disconnect the AC
adapter, and immediately contact Olympus.
• Do not use a commercially available travel converter with the battery charger. Otherwise, the
battery charger may be damaged.
• Do not remove the battery as soon as possible after using the instrument for a long time.
Heat generated by the battery creates the risk of burn injury.
• Do not leave the battery in a location subject to moisture, water leak or extremely high or low
temperatures.
• Do not touch the battery terminals while your hands are wet.
• If you do not plan to use the battery for a long time, remove it from the main unit and store it in a
dry place.
Otherwise, battery fluid leak and heat build-up may result in a fire or injury.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of small children.
CAUTION
• If you are experiencing problems loading the battery, do not try to force it in.
Check the orientation of the battery and check the terminals for abnormalities. Trying to force the
battery into the compartment may cause malfunction.
• If you are having problems removing the battery from the instrument, do not apply undue force.
Contact Olympus.
• When disposing of a battery, be sure to do so in accordance with all local laws, rules, and
regulations.
Before disposing of a battery, check your local laws, rules, and regulations and follow them
accordingly.
NOTE
• Be sure to recharge the battery before using it for the first time after purchase or after it has not been used
for a long period.
• In general, the battery performance drops as the ambient temperature drops. Note that the battery
performance degraded due to low temperatures recovers when the temperature rises to a normal level.
• Contamination of battery electrodes with sweat or oil will cause contact failures. When the battery is dirty,
wipe it clean with a dry cloth before use.
• A full charger will provide approximately 90 minutes (generally speaking) of continuous operation. Actual
operating time depends on the charging method, the operating environment, and the instrument's settings.
Preparation of multiple spare batteries is recommended when long hours of battery-powered operation are
expected. The battery charging time is normally about three hours and 30 minutes (generally speaking).
• Recommended temperature range for Li-ion battery operation.
- Discharging (using main unit) : -10°C to 40°C
- Charging : 0°C to 40°C
- Storage : -20°C to 35°C
Using the battery under a temperature outside the above temperature ranges will result in degradation
of its performance and service life. When storing the battery, be sure to remove it from the main unit.
• The battery is a consumable item.
• The battery cannot be charged using the instrument. For information on charging the battery, refer to the
manual that came with the battery charger.
