B Caution for the batteries
If you mistake handling the batteries, leakage, generation of heat and
fire or burst may occurr. Keep the following cautions;
• Do not deassemble, process or give the pressure to the batteries.
• Do not heat or throw into the fire.
• Do not keep 0 and 0 polarities into contact with the metal (necklace or hairpin
etc.) or bring them together.
• Be careful so that no water or sea water enters, or do not soak the termnal of the
batteries.
• Do not pee! off or damage the covered seal.
• Do not drop or throw the batteries so that the batteries are not shocked.
• Do not use the batteries when you noticed leakage or change of shape and color
etc.
• Do not store in the place in high temperature or humidity.
• Do not leave within children’s reach.
• Do not mistake the direction of the 0 and Q polarities when inserting the batteries
into the camera.
• Do not mix new batteries and old batteries.
• Change to both new batteries when changing ones.
• Do not use differernt kind of batteries.
• If you will not be using the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
• The temperature of batteries may become high instantly after use. Remove the
batteries after turning the power switch off and waiting for the temperature of them
to decrease.
• The performance of the batteries decreases and available recording/playback time
becomes extremely short in cold place. Especially, the time becomes short when
using Alkaline batteries, so use them after warming them in your pocket. When
warming them, be careful so that the batteries are not attached to the metal etc,
directly.
• If the dirt like the sebum attaches to the batteries, available record ing/p layback
time becomes extremely short. Wipe the 0 and 0 polarities using the dry and soft
cloth carefully before inserting them.
If the leakage occurred, wipe the liquid attatched to the battery insertion part and
then insert the new batteries.
Preparation
When the liquid is attached to your hands or clothes, wash them using water.
When the liquid enters your eyes, your eyesight may be lost. Wash them using
clear water instantly without rubbing them and then consult for a doctor.
