Caring for the camera and battery: Cautions

583

Ready spare batteries

Before taking photographs, ready a spare battery and keep it fully charged.
Depending on your location, it may be difficult to purchase replacement
batteries on short notice.

Have fully-charged spare batteries ready on cold days

Partially-charged batteries may not function on cold days. In cold weather,
charge one battery before use and keep another in a warm place, ready to be
exchanged as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of
its charge.

Battery level

Turning the camera on or off repeatedly when the battery is fully
discharged will shorten battery life. Batteries that have been fully
discharged must be charged before use.

A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge when
used at room temperature indicates that it requires replacement. Purchase
a new rechargeable battery.

Do not attempt to charge fully-charged batteries

Continuing to charge the battery after it is fully charged can impair battery
performance.

Recycling used batteries

Recycle rechargeable batteries in accord with local regulations, being sure to
first insulate the terminals with tape.

Using the charger

Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging; failure to
observe this precaution could in very rare instances result in the charger
showing that charging is complete when the battery is only partially
charged. Remove and reinsert the battery to begin charging again.

Do not short the charger terminals. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in overheating and damage to the charger.

Unplug the charger when it is not in use.
