Fujifilm FinePix A203 Manuel D’Utilisation

h AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be

used with this camera.

Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickel-
cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix A203/
FinePix A303 because the heat generated by the
batteries could damage the camera or cause
malfunctions.

h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between

brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be
shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the
camera.

h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

h Do not store batteries in very warm or moist

locations.

h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.

h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that

the battery polarity (+ and  _ ) is as indicated on the
camera.

h Do not use new batteries together with used

batteries. In the case of rechargeable batteries, do
not use charged and discharged batteries together.
Do not use batteries of different types or brands
together.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the batteries from the camera.
(Note that if the camera is left with the batteries
removed, the time and date settings are cleared.)

h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being

used. Before removing the batteries, switch the
camera off and wait until the batteries cool down.

h When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.

Here, 'new batteries' refers to either recently purchased
unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal
hydride) batteries that have recently been fully
recharged together.

h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or

below), battery performance deteriorates and the time
for which they can be used shortens markedly. This is
particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold conditions,

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,
become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.
h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
h Do not carry or store a battery with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into
contact with the metal positive + and negative _
poles of the battery.

h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water,

and take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.
h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries

to strong impacts.
