Explanation of Terms Safety Notes Deactivated batteries: Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated. Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot be achieved.
Memo Safety Notes WARNING Do not heat, change or take apart the batteries. Do not drop or subject the batteries to impacts. Do not attempt to recharge lithium or alkaline batteries. Do not store the batteries with metallic products. Do not use chargers other than the specified model to charge the batteries. Any of these actions can cause the batteries to burst or leak and cause fire or injury as a result. Use only the batteries or AC power adapters specified for use with this camera.
