SAFETY
 PRECAUTIONS
9
•  Accidentally being injured by the 
moving parts of the camera.
•  Should you notice that the charger is 
emitting smoke, heat, or an unusual noise 
or smell, immediately cease use and 
unplug the charger from the power outlet, 
and then contact an authorized distributor 
or service center.
•  Stop using the camera immediately if 
you notice any unusual odors, noise, or 
smoke around it.
•  Never remove the batteries with bare 
hands, which may cause a fi re or burn 
your hands.
•  Never hold or operate the camera with wet 
hands.
This may cause overheating, exploding, 
burning, electrical shocks, or malfunctions.
•  Do not leave the camera in places where 
it may be subject to extremely high 
temperatures.
•  Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate 
and, in some circumstances, cause 
the camera to catch fi re. Do not use 
the charger if it is covered (such as a 
blanket). This could cause overheating, 
resulting in fi re.
•  Handle the camera with care to avoid 
getting a low temperature burn.
•  When the camera contains metal 
parts, overheating can result in a low-
temperature burn. Pay attention to the 
following:
•  When used for a long period, the 
camera will get hot. If you hold on 
to the camera in this state, a low-
temperature burn may be caused.
•  In places subject to extremely cold 
temperatures, the temperature of the 
camera’s body may be lower than the 
environmental temperature. If possible, 
wear gloves when handling the camera 
in cold temperatures.
•  To protect the high-precision technology 
contained in this product, never leave the 
camera in the places listed below, no matter if 
in use or storage:
•  Places where temperatures and/or 
humidity are high or go through extreme 
changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked 
cars, or near other heat sources (stove, 
radiator, etc.) or humidifi ers.
•  In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near fl ammable items or explosives.
•  In wet places, such as bathrooms or in 
the rain.
•  In places prone to strong vibrations.
•  The camera uses a lithium ion battery 
specifi ed by Olympus. Charge the battery 
with the specifi ed charger. Do not use any 
other chargers.
•  Never incinerate or heat batteries in 
microwaves, on hot plates, or in pressure 
vessels, etc.
•  Never leave the camera on or near 
electromagnetic devices.
This may cause overheating, burning, or 
exploding.
•  Do not connect terminals with any metallic 
objects.
•  Take precautions when carrying or storing 
batteries to prevent them from coming into 
contact with any metal objects such as 
jewelry, pins, fasteners, keys, etc.
The short circuit may cause overheating, 
exploding, or burning, which burn or damage 
you.
•  To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging 
their terminals, carefully follow all instructions 
regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt 
to disassemble a battery or modify it in any 
way, solder, etc.
• If battery fl uid gets into your eyes, fl ush 
your eyes immediately with clear, cold 
running water and seek medical attention 
immediately.
•  If you cannot remove the battery from the 
camera, contact an authorized distributor 
or service center. Do not try to remove the 
battery by force.
Damage to the battery exterior (scratches, 
etc.) may produce heat or an explosion.
•  Always store batteries out of the reach of 
small children and pets. If they accidentally 
swallow a battery, seek medical attention 
immediately.
•  To prevent batteries from leaking, 
overheating, or causing a fi re or explosion, 
use only batteries recommended for use with 
this product.
•  If rechargeable batteries have not been 
recharged within the specifi ed time, stop 
charging them and do not use them.
•  Do not use batteries with scratches or 
damage to the casing, and do not scratch 
the battery.
•  Never subject batteries to strong shocks or 
continuous vibration by dropping or hitting.
This may cause exploding, overheating, or 
burning.
•  If a battery leaks, has unusual odor, becomes 
discolored or deformed, or becomes 
abnormal in any other way during operation, 
stop using the camera, and keep away from 
fi re immediately.
