CAUTION

Stop using the camera immediately if you notice
any unusual odors, noise or smoke around it.

Do not remove the battery with bare hands. Doing

so may cause a fire or burn your hands.

Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
Do not leave the camera in places where it may
be subject to extremely high temperatures.

Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in

some circumstances, cause the camera to catch

fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is

covered (such as a blanket). This could cause

overheating, resulting in fire.

Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a
low-temperature burn.

The camera contains metal parts. Overheating can

result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to

the following:

When used for a long period, the camera will get

hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a

low-temperature burn may be caused.

In places subject to extremely cold temperatures,

the temperature of the camera’s body may be

lower than the environmental temperature. If

possible, wear gloves when handling the camera

in cold temperatures.

Be careful with the strap.

Be careful with the strap when you carry the

camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and

cause serious damage.


Battery Handling Precautions

Follow these important guidelines
to prevent batteries from leaking,
overheating, burning, exploding or
causing electrical shocks or burns.

DANGER

The camera uses a lithium-ion battery specified

by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specified

charger. Do not use any other chargers.

Never heat or incinerate batteries.

Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to

prevent them from coming into contact with any metal

objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.

Never store batteries where they will be exposed to

direct sunlight or subjected to high temperatures in a

hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc.

To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their

terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding

the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a

battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc.

If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes

immediately with clear, cold running water and seek

medical attention immediately.

Always store batteries out of the reach of small

children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery,

seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING

Keep batteries dry at all times.

To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating

or causing a fire or explosion, use only batteries

Insert the battery carefully as described in the

operating instructions.

If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged

within the specified time, stop charging them and do

not use them.

Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.

If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed,

or becomes abnormal in any other way during

operation, stop using the camera.

If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin,

remove the clothing and flush the affected area with

clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid

burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately.

Never subject batteries to strong shocks or

continuous vibration.

CAUTION

Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully

for leaks, discoloration, warping or any other

abnormality.

The battery may become hot during prolonged use.

To avoid minor burns, do not remove it immediately

after using the camera.
