Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage.
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection
between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery
damage and may cause a fire or electric shock.
Notes about charging the battery
• If the battery is not charging, make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.
• If the device is not charging properly, the battery may not fully charge. Turn off the device
before charging the battery.
• Do not use your device when you are charging the battery. This may cause a fire or
electric shock.
• Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet, as this
may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on the device.
• If you connect the device to an external power source when the battery is depleted,
using high energy-consuming functions will cause the device to turn off. To use the
device normally, recharge the battery.
• Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the battery fully.
• Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is finished, disconnect the
cable from your device.
• Do not bend or damage the AC cable.
