Lithium-ion Battery Handling Precautions
Danger
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack is equipped with built-in safety protection features. Should these
features be disabled, the battery pack can leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
Do not connect the positive (+) and (-) terminals with a metal object such as wire. Do not transport or store the battery pack together
with metal objects such as necklaces, hair pins etc. Otherwise, short-circuiting will occur, over current will flow, causing the battery
pack to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite, or the metal object such as wire, necklace or hair pin can generate heat.
Do not discard the battery pack into fire or heat it. Otherwise, its insulation can melt down, its gas release vent or safety features will
be damaged and/or its electrolyte can ignite, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Do not use or leave the battery pack near a heat source such as a fire or a heater (80°C or higher). If the resin separator should be
damaged owing to overheating, internal short-circuiting may occur to the battery pack, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating,
smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack.
Do not immerse the battery pack in water or seawater, and do not allow it to get wet. Otherwise, the protective features in it can be
damaged, it can be charged with extremely high current and voltage, abnormal chemical reactions may occur in it, possibly leading
to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Do not recharge the battery pack in extremely hot weather. Otherwise, hot temperatures can trigger its built-in protective features,
inhibiting recharging, or can damage the built-in protective features, causing it to be charged with extremely high current and voltage,
and, as a result, abnormal chemical reactions can occur in it, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition.
Do not pierce the battery pack with a nail or other sharp objects, strike it with a hammer, or step on it. Otherwise, its battery pack will
became damaged and deformed, internal short-circuiting can occur, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission,
bursting and/or ignition.
Do not strike or throw the battery pack. The might cause leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition. Also, if the
protective feature in it becomes damaged, it could become charged with an extremely high current and voltage, abnormal chemical
reactions can occur, which can lead acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
84
Introduction (Continued)
Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery pack by drop of the battery pack or any other damage. Otherwise, acid
leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition of the battery pack may occur.
Do not directly solder the battery pack. Otherwise, heat can melt down its insulation, damage its gas release vent or safety features
possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Otherwise, during recharging, the battery pack will be reverse – charged,
abnormal chemical reactions then may occur, or excessively high current can flow during discharging possibly leading to acid
leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Do not connect the battery pack to an electrical outlet, vehicle cigarette lighter, etc. When subjected to large voltage, over current can
flow on the battery pack, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Do not use the battery pack for a purpose other than those specified. Otherwise, its guaranteed performance will be lost and/or its
service life will be shortened. Depending on the equipment in which the battery pack is used, excessively high current can flow
through battery pack, possibly damaging it and leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or ignition.
Battery electrolytes can cause skin and eye injury. If you come into contact with any material leaking from the battery, it could be
electrolyte. Do not touch your face or eyes. Wash your hands or the area of contact with clean running water immediately. Seek
medical attention immediately if contact with the eyes has occurred.
Warning
If recharging operation fails to complete even when a specified recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop further recharging.
If the battery pack leaks or gives off a bad odor, remove it from any exposed flame. Otherwise, the leaking electrolyte may catch fire,
and the battery pack may emit smoke, burst or ignite.
If the battery pack gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use,
recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the equipment or battery pack charger and stop using it. Otherwise, the
problematic battery pack can develop acid leakage, overheating, smoke, emission, bursting and/or ignition.
85
Introduction (Continued)
Caution
Do not use or subject the battery pack to intense sunlight or hot temperatures such as in a car in hot weather. Otherwise, acid
leakage, overheating and/or smoke emission can occur. Also, its guaranteed performance will be lose and/or its service life will be
shortened.
The battery pack incorporates built-in safety devices. Do not use it in a location where high levels of static electricity may be present.
Otherwise, the safety devices can be damaged, possibly leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke emission, bursting and/or
ignition.
The guaranteed recharging temperature range is 0 to 45°C. A recharging operation outside this temperature range can lead to acid
leakage and/or overheating of the battery pack, and may cause damage to it.
If electrolyte leaking from the battery pack contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash it away with running water. Otherwise,
eye injury or skin inflammation can occur.
Store the battery pack in a location where children cannot reach it. Also, make sure that sure that a child does not take out the battery
pack from the battery pack charger or equipment.
If you find rust, a bad odor, overheating and/or other irregularities when using the battery pack for the first time, return it your supplier
or vendor.

Introduction (Continued)
Condensation
“Condensation” is the formation of small drops of water on the inside or outside of this recorder when steam in the air changes to
liquid when it is brought from a cold place suddenly into a warm place. If the recorder is used with condensation, the camera could
not take clear images or the recorder could be broken down.
Condensation tends to occur when
* This recorder is brought from a ski slope into a heated place.
* This recorder is brought from a cooled room or car compartment into a hot open air.
Measures to counter condensation
When this recorder has to be brought from a cold place suddenly into a warm place, place the recorder in a plastic bag and airtightly
seal the bag beforehand. Then, leave the recorder as it is in the warm place for about an hour, and then take it out when the recorder
is warmed up to the ambient temperature.
If condensation occurs
Turn OFF the power supply, and leave this recorder for about an hour until the condensation disappears. After confirming no
condensation, start using the recorder.
Note with care that if the recorder is used particularly with the condensation left on the inside of the camera lens, the recorder could
not record clear images.
Carrying
Do not sit down on a chair or the like with this recorder in the rear pocket of your trousers or skirt, or the recorder could be broken
down or damaged.
Life of the O-rings
The waterproof function of this recorder and camera head is maintained by 4 O-rings within the camera head. The life of these
O-rings depends on how the recorder is used. However, in order to reliably maintain the waterproof function, it is advisable to
replace the O-rings at a cycle of once a year.
The replacement can be handled for a charge by ELMO USA Service Department only.
