Preventing Serious Injury or Death
To
prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the
safeguards below:
- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified
in
this
booklet. Do not use
any
home-made
or
modified batteries.
- Do
not
short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack
or
back-up battery. Do
not apply heat
or
apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose
the battery pack
or
back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery
pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.
- Do not install the battery pack
or
back-up battery
in
reversed polarity (+
-).
Do not
mix
new
and old or different types
of
batteries.
- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range
of
O°C
-
40°C
(32°F - 104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.
- Do not insert
any
foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts
of
the camera,
accessories, connecting cables, etc.
Keep the back-up battery
away
from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a
physician immediately. (Battery chemicals
may
harm the stomach and intestines.)
When disposing
of
a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts
with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects
or
batteries. This is to prevent
fire
or
an explosion.
If excessive heat, smoke,
or
fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging,
immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging
and prevent a fire.
If the battery pack
or
back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms,
or
emits smoke
or
fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to
get
burned
in
the process.
Prevent
any
battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can
cause blindness
or
skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin,
or
clothing, flush the affected area with lots
of
clean
water
without rubbing it. See a
physician immediately.
During the recharging, keep the
equipment
away
from the reach
of
children.
The
cord
can accidentally choke the child
or
give an electrical shock.
Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord
or
melt the
insulation and cause a fire
or
electrical shock.
Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident.
Do not fire the flash
near
a person's eyes. It
may
impair the person's vision. When
using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1
meter
away.
Before storing the camera
or
accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and
disconnect the
power
plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and
fire.
Do not use the equipment
where
there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an
explosion or fire.
