Epson PhotoPC 650 - Manual (Page 18)

1-4 Getting Started
Using Batteries Safely and Efficiently
When your batteries need to be replaced, the PhotoPC 650
camera can accept four AA batteries of the following types:
◗ Rechargeable NiMH batteries (recommended)
◗ Rechargeable NiCad batteries
◗ Single-use alkaline batteries
◗ Single-use lithium batteries (longer life)
WARNING
To avoid the danger of fire or explosion, do not mix different
types of batteries. Do not allow the battery contacts to touch
metal objects such as coins or keys, which could short out the
battery’s circuits. Read all safety and handling instructions before
using batteries.
EPSON offers an optional NiMH Power Pak that includes a
charger and rechargeable batteries for convenient battery
replacement whenever you need them. When you’re
transferring pictures to your computer with the serial cable,
you’ll use more battery power, so it’s best to power your
camera with the optional AC adapter. See page A-2 for
details on EPSON’s optional power accessories.
TIP
To save battery power, use the camera’s View mode sparingly.
You can still view pictures before saving them with the Quick
Review feature; see Chapter 2 for details.
Note the following as you use batteries:
◗ Don’t use manganese batteries.
◗ Replace all four batteries at the same time. Don’t mix
old and new batteries.
◗ Don’t drop, puncture, disassemble, or mutilate batteries.
Don’t get them wet or expose them to fire.
◗ When the camera isn’t used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature
in a dry location. Store away from the reach of children.
◗ To avoid fire or electric shock, don’t use batteries that
are leaking or damaged in any way.
◗ If battery acid gets in your eyes or on your skin,
immediately rinse the area with water and seek medical
treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical
treatment immediately.
