Sony dsc-h5 Manual

• Do not charge any other batteries except Sony 

Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries in the battery 
charger supplied with your camera. If you try to 
charge any other type of battery (e.g., 
manganese batteries, alkaline batteries, primary 
lithium batteries, or Ni-Cd batteries) than the 
batteries specified, those batteries may leak, 
overheat, or explode, causing the danger of 
burns or other injuries.

• Remove the charged batteries from the battery 

charger. If you keep charging them, there is a 
danger of leaks, excessive heat, explosions, or 
electric shock.

• When charging a high capacity battery other 

than the supplied battery using the supplied 
battery charger, the full capacity of the battery 
may not be available.

• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, this may 

indicate a battery error or that batteries other 
than the specified type have been inserted. 
Check that the batteries are the specified type. If 
the batteries are the specified type, remove all 
the batteries, replace them with new ones or 
another ones and check if the battery charger 
operates correctly. If the battery charger 
operates correctly, a battery error may have 
occurred.

• If the battery charger is dirty, charging may not 

be performed successfully. Clean the battery 
charger with dry cloth, etc.

Before using batteries, read the following 
precaution for each type of battery.

As for unsupported batteries, operating 
performance cannot be ensured if voltage drops or 
other problems are caused by the nature of the 
battery.

• Do not peel off the external seals or damage the 

batteries. Never use batteries from which the 
seals have been partially or completely 
removed, or batteries that have been split in any 
way. These may cause leakage, explosion, or 
heat-up of the battery, and personal scald or 
injury may be caused. These may cause a 
malfunction of the battery charger.

• Always carry the Nickel-Metal Hidride batteries 

in the supplied battery case. Otherwise, metallic 
objects may short the + and - ends, resulting in 
the risk of heating or fire.

• If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride 

batteries are dirty, the batteries may not charge 
properly. Wipe them with a dry cloth, etc.

• At the time of purchase, or when the Nickel-

Metal Hydride batteries have not been used for a 
long time, they may not full charge. This is 
typical of this type of battery, and is not a 
malfunction. If this happens, repeatedly using
