≥ In certain situations, continuous use could 

cause the unit to overheat and cause a 
malfunction. Such use is strongly discouraged.

When you are not going to use the unit for an 
extended time.
≥ When storing the unit in a cupboard or cabinet, 

it is recommended that you place a desiccant 
(silica gel) in with it.

The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable 
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity 
and temperature and the effect increases the 
more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, 
the full charge indication may not appear or the 
low battery indication may appear about 
5 minutes after starting use. At high 
temperatures, the protection function may be 
triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute amount 

of current continues to flow even if the unit’s 
power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may 
result in over discharge of the battery. This 
may result in you not being able to use the 
battery even after it is charged.

≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag 

so metal does not come into contact with the 
terminals.

≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place 

free from humidity, with as constant 
temperature as possible. (Recommended 
temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), 
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%) 

≥ Extremely high temperatures or low 

temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature, 

high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the 
terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

≥ To store the battery for a long period of time, 

we recommend you charge it once every year 
and store it again after you have completely 
used up the charged capacity. 

≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery 

terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for 
recording.
≥ Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 

times the period during you want to record 
pictures in. In cold places such as a ski resort, 
the period during which you can record 
pictures is shortened. 

≥ When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC 

adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries 
at your destination.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to 
see if the terminals are damaged.
≥ Attaching a battery with damaged terminals 

can damage the unit or AC adaptor.

Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may 

result in an explosion.

≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely high 

or extremely low, charging may take time or the 
battery may not be charged.

≥ If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make sure 

that the terminals of the battery or the AC adaptor 
are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects or dust, 
then reconnect them properly. Disconnect the AC 
cable from the AC outlet when you remove dirt, 
foreign objects or dust on the terminals of the 
battery or the AC adaptor. If the charging lamp is 
still flashing, something may be wrong with the 
battery or AC adaptor. Contact your dealer.

≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio 

reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 
1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio.

≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may generate 

whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. 

(If it is left connected, a minute amount of current 
is consumed.)

≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor 

and battery clean.
