■ Battery shapes that cannot be used<br />
• Batteries with unusual shapes cause<br />
leakage, heat generation or explosion if<br />
inserted in the camera.<br />
• Batteries with the covering partly or fully<br />
peeled off. Never use these batteries.<br />
(Refer to the illustration below.)<br />
• All or part of the<br />
covering on the<br />
battery is peeled<br />
off.<br />

■ Proper Care and Handling of Batteries<br />
Mishandling batteries may cause leakage,<br />
heat generation, fi re or explosion. Observe<br />
the following.<br />
• Do not heat or expose to fl ame.<br />
• Do not splash batteries with water/sea<br />
water or wet battery terminals.<br />
• Do not peel off or scratch the covering on<br />
batteries.<br />
• Do not drop, throw or subject batteries to<br />
other strong impacts.<br />
• Do not use batteries that show signs of<br />
leakage, de<strong>for</strong>mation, discoloration etc.<br />
• Do not store batteries in high humidity<br />
areas or high temperatures.<br />
• Keep batteries away from children.<br />
• Always use 2 new batteries of the same<br />
type when replacing batteries.<br />
• Remove the batteries if you do not intend<br />
to use the unit <strong>for</strong> a long time.<br />
• Batteries may heat up soon after you<br />
start using the unit. Turn the camera off<br />
and wait until the battery temperature<br />
decreases be<strong>for</strong>e removing them.<br />
• Battery per<strong>for</strong>mance deteriorates and<br />
recording/playback time decreases when<br />
the ambient temperature is low [10 °C<br />
(50 °F) or less]. This is particularly true<br />
when using oxyride or alkaline batteries<br />
Preparation<br />
so warm them in your pocket etc. be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
using them. Make sure that no metal<br />
objects such as a lighter are placed<br />
together with the batteries when warming<br />
them in your pocket.<br />
• If there is grease or dirt on the battery<br />
poles, the recording/playback time may<br />
become extremely short. Be<strong>for</strong>e inserting<br />
the batteries, clean the battery terminals<br />
with a soft, dry cloth.<br />
If battery leakage occurs, remove the<br />
batteries and thoroughly wipe the leakage<br />
in the battery compartment. Insert new<br />
batteries or fully charged Ni-MH batteries.<br />
If battery electrolyte spills on your hands<br />
or clothes, thoroughly wash them with<br />
water. Battery electrolyte can cause loss<br />
of sight if it comes into contact with your<br />
eyes. Do not rub your eyes. Wash them<br />
immediately with clean water and consult<br />
a doctor.<br />
■ Ni-MH Batteries (Nickel Metal Hydride)<br />
You can use Ni-MH batteries after charging<br />
them with a nickel metal hydride battery<br />
charger. However, improper handling of<br />
the batteries may cause leakage, heat<br />
generation, fi re or explosion. Observe the<br />
following.<br />
• If rechargeable batteries are to be used,<br />
rechargeable batteries manufactured by<br />
<strong>Panasonic</strong> are recommended.<br />
• If there is dirt on the battery poles, you<br />
may not be able to charge normally.<br />
Clean the battery poles and the battery<br />
recharger terminals with a soft, dry cloth.<br />
• When charging batteries <strong>for</strong> the fi rst time,<br />
or after having not used them <strong>for</strong> a long<br />
period of time, they may not charge fully.<br />
This is a feature of Ni-MH batteries and<br />
is not a malfunction. Battery per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
will become normal after a few charges<br />
and discharges.
