For indoor use only.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
■ Use with the supplied nickel metal hydride batteries

Do not use the supplied battery charge to recharge batteries other than the
rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries (HR-3US or HR-3U, supplied with the
digital camera or sold separately) or Ni-Cd batteries (N-3US or N-3U, sold
separately). Use with a dry-cell battery or other type of rechargeable battery may cause excess

Place the batteries in the battery charger with the (+) and (–) terminals oriented as
indicated on the charger. If the batteries are placed in the wrong orientation, the
batteries may leak, overheat, explode, or be damaged.

If used with a power supply other than that specified, it may cause a fire or electric
shock.
■ Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when finished
œ
If the battery charger is left plugged into the power outlet for a long period of time,
there is a risk of fire. In particular, if the batteries are recharged continuously for
more than two days (48 hours), they may generate heat, leak, or explode.

œ
Securely plug the power cord all the way in the power outlet when using the battery
charger. If the battery charger is used with the power cord not fully plugged in, heat
may generate and cause a fire.

do not use the battery charger. Using the battery charger in this condition may
cause a fire or electric shock.
œ

cause a short circuit or generate heat and cause a fire.
œ
When unplugging the power cord from the power outlet, be careful not to apply excessive force.
Doing so may damage the plug and cause a fire or electric shock.
■ Cautions concerning the power cord
œ
Do not leave the power cord plugged into the power outlet while the other end is
not plugged into the battery charger. The loose end can cause electrocution if
touched with wet hands or if handled by children.
œ
Only use the power cord supplied with the battery charger. If a different power
cord is used, it may be rated for a different current load, and that may cause a fire.
œ
The supplied power cord is for exclusive use with the supplied battery charger.
