Use Only Nikon Brand Electronic Accessories
Nikon COOLPIX cameras are designed to the highest standards and include complex electronic
circuitry. Only Nikon brand electronic accessories (including battery charger, batteries, Charging AC
Adapter, and AC adapters) certified by Nikon specifically for use with this Nikon digital camera are
engineered and proven to operate within the operational and safety requirements of this electronic

THE USE OF NON-NIKON ELECTRONIC ACCESSORIES COULD DAMAGE THE CAMERA AND MAY

The use of third-party rechargeable Li-ion batteries not bearing the
Nikon holographic seal could interfere with normal operation of the

leaking.
For more information about Nikon brand accessories, contact a local
authorized Nikon dealer.
