Battery Handling Precautions
• Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas)
are intended for use only with Olympus digital
cameras. Never use these batteries with any other
device.
• Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some
areas) before using them for the fi rst time, or if
they have not been used for a long period.
• Always charge sets of batteries (included in some
areas) (2 or 4) together.
• Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely
necessary. In some cases, alkaline batteries may
have a shorter service life than NiMH. Alkaline
battery performance is limited, especially at
low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is
recommended.
• AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be
used with this camera.
• When operating the camera with battery power
at low temperatures, try to keep the camera
and spare batteries as warm as possible.
Batteries which run down at low temperatures
may be restored after they are warmed at room
temperature.
• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH
batteries:
Operation ................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Charge ....................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage.......................-20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
• Using, charging or storing the batteries outside
these ranges could shorten battery life or affect
battery performance. Always unload the batteries
from the camera before storing the camera for a
long period.
• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read
the provided instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary
depending on the shooting conditions or batteries.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before
traveling abroad, purchase an ample supply of
extra batteries. The recommended batteries may
be diffi cult to obtain while traveling.
• Please recycle batteries to help save our planet's
resources. When you throw away dead batteries,
be sure to cover their terminals and always
observe local laws and regulations.
