If battery fluid leaks inside the camera, contact our customer service department.

If battery fluid leaks onto your skin, rinse your skin with clean water and seek immediate medical attention.

Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the local (national or regional) regulations.

To prevent the battery from being damaged, do not drop the battery or allow it to hit solid objects or to be scratched by the objects.

Do not let the battery come in contact with metal objects (including coins) to avoid short circuiting, discharging, excessive heat, or possible leakage.

Do not attempt to disassemble the battery.
