About the Battery
This camera uses a special rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is referred to
simply as the “battery” in this manual. When you use the battery, carefully
read and observe the “Safety Precautions” (provided separately) and the
notes given below.
Handling the Battery
The battery included with the camera does not come fully charged. Be
sure to fully charge the battery before using the camera for the first
time.
The battery gradually discharges naturally even when not used. Charge
the battery one or two days before use.
When the battery is not in use for a lengthy period of time, be sure to
remove it from the camera. Leaving the battery in the camera could
cause overdischarging and render the battery unusable. If the battery is
left out of the camera for approximately 3 months, the date, time and
other camera settings may revert to the default values (even if the AC
adapter has been left connected to the camera for 24 hours or more
beforehand). Reset these settings before using the camera.
To maximize the battery life, switch the camera OFF as often as
possible when it is not being used.
In cold locations, the length of time the camera is operable decreases
even with a fully charged battery. Take along a spare fully charged
battery. Battery performance that has been impaired by low
temperatures will recover when the camera is returned to room
temperature (77°F (25°C)).
Always keep the terminals clean.
If the battery is used for a long time, the battery itself will become warm.
This is normal and not a malfunction.
Store the battery in a cool place. We recommend a dry place with a
surrounding temperature of 59°F (15°C) to 77°F (25°C). Avoid storing
the battery in extremely hot or cold places.
The battery has a limited service life. If you notice that battery life has
become remarkably shorter, even when the battery is fully charged, it is
recommended that you replace the battery with battery model number
GSC-BT6.
