Panasonic DMC-LS60 Betriebsanweisung

VQT1C63

■ Battery shapes that cannot be used

• Batteries with unusual shapes cause 

leakage, heat generation or explosion if 
inserted in the camera.

• Batteries with the covering partly or fully 

peeled off. Never use these batteries. 
(Refer to the illustration below.)

• All or part of the 

covering on the 
battery is peeled 
off.

• The 

) pole is fl at.

■ Proper Care and Handling of Batteries

Mishandling batteries may cause leakage, 
heat generation, fi re or explosion. Observe 
the following.
• Do not heat or expose to fl ame.
• Do not splash batteries with water/sea 

water or wet battery terminals.

• Do not peel off or scratch the covering on 

batteries.

• Do not drop, throw or subject batteries to 

other strong impacts.

• Do not use batteries that show signs of 

leakage, deformation, discoloration etc.

• Do not store batteries in high humidity 

areas or high temperatures.

• Keep batteries away from children.
• Always use 2 new batteries of the same 

type when replacing batteries.

• Remove the batteries if you do not intend 

to use the unit for a long time.

• Batteries may heat up soon after you 

start using the unit. Turn the camera off 
and wait until the battery temperature 
decreases before removing them.

• Battery performance deteriorates and 

recording/playback time decreases when 
the ambient temperature is low [10 °C 
(50 °F) or less]. This is particularly true 
when using oxyride or alkaline batteries 

so warm them in your pocket etc. before 
using them. Make sure that no metal 
objects such as a lighter are placed 
together with the batteries when warming 
them in your pocket.

• If there is grease or dirt on the battery 

poles, the recording/playback time may 
become extremely short. Before inserting 
the batteries, clean the battery terminals 
with a soft, dry cloth.

If battery leakage occurs, remove the 
batteries and thoroughly wipe the leakage 
in the battery compartment. Insert new 
batteries or fully charged Ni-MH batteries.

If battery electrolyte spills on your hands 
or clothes, thoroughly wash them with 
water. Battery electrolyte can cause loss 
of sight if it comes into contact with your 
eyes. Do not rub your eyes. Wash them 
immediately with clean water and consult 
a doctor.

■ Ni-MH Batteries (Nickel Metal Hydride)

You can use Ni-MH batteries after charging 
them with a nickel metal hydride battery 
charger. However, improper handling of 
the batteries may cause leakage, heat 
generation, fi re or explosion. Observe the 
following.
• If rechargeable batteries are to be used, 

rechargeable batteries manufactured by 
Panasonic are recommended.

• If there is dirt on the battery poles, you 

may not be able to charge normally. 
Clean the battery poles and the battery 
recharger terminals with a soft, dry cloth.

• When charging batteries for the fi rst time, 

or after having not used them for a long 
period of time, they may not charge fully.
This is a feature of Ni-MH batteries and 
is not a malfunction. Battery performance 
will become normal after a few charges 
and discharges.
