Please recycle after its service life has finished.

• Do not recharge or place batteries near sources of high heat (near flames, 

heaters, or in direct sunlight, etc.), or in places exposed to flammable gasses, 

since the batteries may generate heat, emit smoke, or rupture.

• Do not allow the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of batteries to be 

shortcircuited by metallic wires or object, since batteries may generate heat 

or emit smoke or flames.

• Do not store batteries together with keys, necklaces, coins or other metallic 

objects, since the objects may contact the battery terminals, causing short-

circuits.

• Do not try to heat batteries, or dispose of them in fire, since they may 

generate heat, emit smoke or flame, or rupture.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify batteries, since they may generate 

heat, emit smoke or flame, or the internal battery liquid may enter your eyes, 

causing blindness or other personal injury. If battery liquid should enter the 

eyes, wash the eyes with clear running water and seek medical attention 

immediately.

• This battery pack has been designed for exclusive use with this camera. 

Always use the camera to recharge the battery pack. Do not use the battery 

pack in any device other than this camera and do not attempt to recharge it 

using a third-party charger as the battery pack may generate heat or smoke, 

catch fire or explode.

a

• Never place batteries in a microwave oven or other container exposed to 

high-voltage, since battery liquid may leak, or the battery pack may generate 

heat, emit smoke or flame, or rupture.

• Do not use leaking batteries. Battery liquid may contact your skin, causing 

personal injury. In the event battery liquid does contact skin, wash 

immediately with clean water.

• Do not use broken or ruptured batteries, since they may generate heat, emit 

smoke or flame, or cause electrical shock.

a

• Do not place batteries in water of any kind, or allow them to become wet, 

since the batteries may generate heat, emit smoke or flame, or cause 

electrical shock.

• Do not use or attempt to recharge wet batteries, since they may generate 

heat, emit smoke or flame, or cause electrical shock.

• Do not store batteries in locations accessible to small children, since injury 

could result.

• Do not throw batteries or subject them to strong impacts, since they may be 

damaged and leak battery fluid.

• Whenever possible, use batteries at room temperature (20°C ± 5°C). The 

battery capacity and usable time between recharging may be reduced in 

situations of extreme heat or cold, such as during mid-summer or deep winter 

weather, or when batteries are left in a hot location (e.g., inside a closed car 

exposed to sun). Such conditions may also shorten the usable service life of 

the battery.

• When not using batteries, store them in a cool, dry location.
