Observe proper precautions when handling the battery

The battery may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling the battery for use in this product:

Make sure the product is off before replacing the battery. If you are using the AC adapter, Make sure it is unplugged.

Use only the supplied rechargeable Nikon EN-EL1 lithium-ion battery or a 6V 2CR5 (DL245) lithium battery (available separately).

When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.

Do not short-circuit or disassemble the battery.

Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.

Do not immerse in or expose to water.

Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

Do not apply force to the lens or to the battery, card, or connector covers. These parts are especially susceptible to damage.

Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on

Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the camera is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted from memory.

Observe the following precautions when handling CompactFlash ™ memory cards:

Turn the power off before inserting or removing memory cards. Inserting or removing cards with the power on could render them unusable.

Insert memory cards as shown in Inserting CF Memory Card. Inserting cards upside down or backwards could damage the camera or the card.
