f the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run
it at before removing it from the camera for storage. The battery should
be stored in a cool, dry location with an ambient temperature of 15 °C to 25
°C (59 °F to 77 °F). Avoid hot or extremely cold locations.
･ Batteries should be charged within six months of use. During long periods
of disuse, charge the battery and use the camera to run it at once every six
months before returning it to a cool location for storage.
･ Remove the battery from the camera or charger when not in use. The
camera and charger draw minute amounts of charge even when o and
could draw the battery down to the point that it will no longer function.
･ Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above
40 °C (104 °F). Failure to observe this precaution could damage the battery
or impair its performance. Charge the battery indoors at ambient
temperatures of 5 °C–35 °C (41 °F–95 °F). The battery will not charge if its
temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
･ Capacity may be reduced and charging times increase at battery
temperatures from 0 °C (32 °F) to 15 °C (59 °F) and from 45 °C (113 °F) to 60
°C (140 °F).
･ Batteries in general exhibit a drop in charging capacity at low ambient
temperatures.
･ Batteries in general exhibit a drop in available capacity at low ambient
temperatures. The change in capacity with temperature is reected in the
camera battery-level display. As a result, the battery display may show a
drop in capacity as the temperature drops, even if the battery is fully
charged.
･ Batteries may be hot after use. Observe due caution when removing
batteries from the camera.
