Sanyo VPC-GH3EX Manual Do Utilizador

English

i The lithium-ion battery used in this camera may expand slightly when 

stored in a hot environment or repeatedly used, but this is not a safety 
hazard. However, a battery that is difficult to insert because it has become 
swollen may then be impossible to extract from the battery compartment. 
In this case, please discontinue its use and replace it with a new battery.

i Doing so may result in malfunction.

i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time 

settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully 
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about 
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the 
camera settings for about 7 days.

i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it 

is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the 
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the 
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may 
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the 
camera settings are correct.

i Although the battery pack is an expendable item, you can maximize the life 

of the battery by heeding the following suggestions.
h Do not leave the battery under the hot summer sun or exposed to other 

high-temperature environments.

h Do not continually recharge the battery when it is already fully charged. 

After fully charging it once, for example, use it for a while to partially 
discharge it before recharging it again.

h When the battery is not to be used for a long time, if possible store the 

partially charged (not fully charged) battery in a cool environment.
