CAUTION

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

Never remove the batteries with bare hands,

which 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.

When 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

recommended for use with this product.

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.
