Battery type and danger level

(Note: The cautionary notes differ depending on the 

model you purchased. Please check the safety 

precautions corresponding to your model.)

Rechargeable Li-ion

batteries

Lithium battery 

for remote 

control unit

k Use only batteries manufactured by SANYO

i Do not use batteries other than the specified model numbers from SANYO. Especially for safety 

purposes, do not use imitation products. If dry-cell batteries or other rechargeable batteries are 
used, the batteries may generate heat, rupture, or leak and result in fire, injury, burns or damage to 
surroundings.

k If there is leaking, discoloration, change of shape, rise in temperature, damaged exterior, 

strange odor or any other abnormal condition, immediately discontinue use and remove the 
battery from the camera, taking care to keep it well away from fire
i Continuing to use the battery under any of these conditions may result in fire, injury, explosion or 

other serious damage.

i If battery fluid is leaking, placing the battery in close proximity to a fire or other heat source may 

ignite the battery fluid and result in fire, damage, eruption of battery fluid, or smoke fumes.

k Do not transform, take apart, or modify

i Any modification, by transforming, disassembling, or directly soldering to the battery, etc., will 

possibly cause the battery to catch fire, explode, or leak or spew battery fluid.

k Do not connect the (+) and (–) terminals with a wire or other metal implement. Do not carry 

loose or keep with necklaces, hairpins, etc.
i Doing so may result in a short circuit, high voltage flow, fire, explosion, leaking or spewing battery 

fluid, or heat generation. Metal such as a wire or necklace, etc. may cause heat to be generated.

k Do not throw the battery in the fire or subject it to heat

i Doing so may cause the insulation to melt, damage the gas discharge valve and safety 

mechanisms, or ignite the battery fluid, resulting in fire or explosion.

k Do not drop, hit, or submit the battery to strong shocks

i If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are broken, an abnormal chemical reaction may 

occur inside the battery, or cause the battery to catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or 
generate heat.

k Do not allow the battery to come into contact with fresh or salt water, or allow the terminals to 

become wet
i If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are damaged by corrosion, an abnormal chemical 

reaction may occur inside the battery, or cause the battery to catch fire, explode, leak or spew 
battery fluid, or generate heat.

k Use only the supplied or specified docking station and AC adaptor/charger

i If another charger is used, the battery pack may be overcharged, or recharged with an abnormal 

voltage, causing an abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or cause the battery pack to catch fire, 
explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

k Use the battery pack only in the specified device

i If the battery pack is used in a device other than that specified, it may cause an abnormal voltage 

flow, or cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

k Do not peel or damage the outer casing

i Damaging the outer case, inserting nails, hitting with a hammer, stepping on the battery pack, etc. 

may cause a short circuit inside the battery or cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or 
spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

k If the battery is leaking and the battery fluid gets on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse 

with clean water
i If the battery fluid gets into your eyes, you risk losing your eyesight. Immediately rinse your eyes 

with clean, running water, and seek medical attention right away. Any battery fluid that comes into 
contact with your skin or clothing may harm your skin. Immediately rinse the area with clean, 
running water.

k Insert the battery correctly, as indicated

i When installing the battery, pay attention to the indicated polarity (+ and –), and insert it correctly.
i If the battery pack is installed with the wrong orientation, it may cause an abnormal chemical 

reaction while in the charger, an abnormal voltage flow when it is used, or cause the battery to 
catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

k Always stop the recharging after the prescribed recharge time, even if the battery pack is not 

fully charged
i If you continue to recharge the battery pack, it may cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, 

leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

k Charge the battery pack before using it

i Always recharge the battery pack before using it for the first time, or when using it after it has been 

kept in storage for a long time. During recharging, the battery pack may be warm. This is normal 
and does not indicate a malfunction.

k Note concerning the battery after use

i When removing the battery, turn off the camera and allow the battery to cool down before removing 

it.

k Disposal of and recycling the battery

i When disposing of used batteries, please consult the laws and regulations in your area for proper 

battery disposal.

i Lithium-ion batteries: To conserve the environment and for efficient use of natural resources, 

please discharge the used battery, cover the (+) and (–) terminals with tape and recycle the 
insulated battery.
