Battery Information
The QuickTake 200 camera comes with four lithium batteries. In place of the
lithium batteries, the camera can also use high-energy alkaline batteries and
NiCad rechargeable batteries. This appendix contains important information
about the batteries you can use in the QuickTake 200 camera.
Caring for batteries
Here are some general suggestions for good battery care.
m Do not mix different types of batteries.
m Always handle batteries carefully.
m When inserting batteries, check the polarity markings on the battery
(+ and –) to ensure that you insert them correctly. Incorrect battery polarity
may cause batteries to split or leak, which could result in a fire, injury, or
damage to the camera.
m Do not attempt to charge lithium or alkaline batteries. Doing so may cause
the batteries to split or leak.
m Do not short-circuit battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals
with a metal object). Do not carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse
where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may
cause an explosion or a fire.
m Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, immerse in water, or
incinerate the batteries.
m Intense heat can shorten battery life. Do not leave batteries in hot locations
(such as the trunk of a car) for more than a day or two.
