For Your Safety
• Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries
with diff erent charge levels, or batteries of
diff erent types.
• If the camera will not be used for an ex-
tended period, remove the batteries. Note
that the camera clock will be reset.
• The batteries may be warm to the touch im-
mediately after use. Turn the camera off and
allow the batteries to cool before handling.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease at low
temperatures. Keep spare batteries in a
pocket or other warm place and exchange
as necessary. Cold batteries may recover
some of their charge when warmed.
• Fingerprints and other stains on the battery
terminals can impair battery performance.
Thoroughly clean the terminals with a
soft, dry cloth before inserting them in the
camera.
If the batteries leak, clean the battery
compartment thoroughly before in-
serting new batteries.
If fl uid from the battery comes into
contact with skin or clothing, fl ush
the aff ected area with water. If fl uid
enters your eyes, immediately fl ush the
aff ected area with water and seek
medical attention. Do not rub your eyes.
Failure to observe this precaution could
result in permanent visual impairment.
■ Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be
temporarily reduced when new, after long
periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly
recharged before being fully discharged. This
is normal and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. Capacity can be increased by repeatedly
discharging the batteries using the discharge
option in the camera setup menu and re-
charging them using a battery charger.
Q CAUTION: Do not use the discharge option
with alkaline batteries.
The camera draws a small amount of current
even when off . Ni-MH batteries that have
been left in the camera for an extended pe-
riod may be drawn down to the point that
they no longer hold a charge. Battery perfor-
mance may also drop if the batteries are run
down in a device such as a fl ashlight. Use the
discharge option in the camera setup menu
to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that
no longer hold a charge even after repeat-
edly being discharged and recharged have
reached the end of their service life and must
be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery
charger (sold separately). Batteries may be-
come warm to the touch after charging. Refer
to the instructions provided with the charger
for more information. Use the charger with
compatible batteries only.
Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge
when not in use.
■ Disposal
Dispose of used batteries in accord with local
regulations.
AC Power Adapters (Available Separately) AC Power Adapters (Available Separately)
This section applies to all camera models.
Use only FUJIFILM AC power adapters desig-
nated for use with this camera. Other adapt-
ers could damage the camera.
• The AC power adapter is for indoor use only.
• Be sure the DC plug is securely connected
to the camera.
• Turn the camera off before disconnecting
the adapter. Disconnect the adapter by the
plug, not the cable.
• Do not use with other devices.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not expose to high heat and humidity.
• Do not subject to strong physical shocks.
• The adapter may hum or become hot to the
touch during use. This is normal.
• If the adapter causes radio interference,
reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
