• 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, by
soldering, 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
recommended for use with this product.
• Never mix batteries (old and new batteries, charged and uncharged batteries, batteries of
different manufacture or capacity, etc.).
• Do not charge alkaline or lithium batteries if they are not rechargeable.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions.
• Do not use batteries if their body is not covered by the insulating sheet or if the sheet is torn, as
this may cause fluid leaks, fire, or injury.
CAUTION
• Do not remove batteries immediately after using the camera. Batteries may become hot during
prolonged use.
• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
• If NiMH batteries are not charged 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.
• Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended for use only with Olympus digital
cameras. Never use these batteries with any other device.
• Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before using them for the first time, or if
they have not been used for a long period.
• Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2 or 4) together.
• Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some cases, alkaline batteries
may have a shorter service life than NiMH battery packs. Alkaline battery performance is limited,
especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended.
• CR-V3 lithium battery packs and AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with this
camera.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and
spare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low temperatures may be
restored after they are warmed at room temperature.
Batteries whose bodies are
only partially or not at all
covered by an insulating
sheet. Batteries whose
- terminals
are raised, but not covered by
an insulating sheet.
Batteries whose terminals
are flat and not completely
covered by an insulating
sheet. (Such batteries
cannot be used even if the
- terminals are partially
covered.)
• The following AA batteries cannot be used.
