For Your Safety
Observe caution when
handling batteries
Batteries may leak or explode if
improperly handled. Observe the
following precautions when handling
batteries for use in this product:
• Before replacing the batteries, turn
the product off. If you are using an
AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.
• Use only the batteries approved for
use in this product (
A 12). Do not
combine old and new batteries or
batteries of different makes or types.
• If Nikon rechargeable Ni-MH batteries
EN-MH2 (EN-MH2-B2 or EN-MH2-B4)
are purchased separately, charge and
use each of them as a set. Do not
combine batteries from different pairs.
• The EN-MH2 rechargeable batteries
are for use with Nikon digital cameras
only, and are compatible with
COOLPIX L24.
Do not use EN-MH2 rechargeable
batteries with incompatible devices.
• Insert batteries in the correct orientation.
• Do not short or disassemble batteries
or attempt to remove or break
battery insulation or casing.
• Do not expose batteries to flame or
to excessive heat.
• Do not immerse in or expose to water.
• Do not transport or store with metal
objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
• Batteries are prone to leakage when
fully discharged. To avoid damage to
the product, be sure to remove the
batteries when no charge remains.
• Discontinue use immediately should
you notice any change in the
batteries, such as discoloration or
deformation.
• If liquid from damaged batteries comes
in contact with clothing or skin, rinse
immediately with plenty of water.
Observe the following
precautions when handling the
Battery Chargers (available
separately)
• Keep Dry. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in fire or
electric shock.
• Dust on or near the metal parts of the
plug should be removed with a dry
cloth. Continued use could result in
fire.
• Do not handle the power cable or go
near the battery charger during
lightning storms. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in
electric shock.
• Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug
or bend the power cable, place it
under heavy objects, or expose it to
heat or flame. Should the insulation
be damaged and the wires become
exposed, take it to a Nikon-
authorized service representative for
inspection. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in fire or
electric shock.
• Do not handle the plug or battery
charger with wet hands. Failure to
observe this precaution could result
in electric shock.
