BATTERY
Between manufacture and first use, all batteries
exhibit some drain. Therefore, care shou
to purchase the newest (and freshest) ones possible.
To
help you do this, some manufacturers
stamp the date of manufacture on the bottom of
each battery. Ask your camera dealer for assistance
in
interpreting the codes .
2. Temperature
Battery life ratings are based
20°C
(68°F). At other temperatures , battery life
shortened. Spare batteries should therefore be kept
available if operation
pated.
3.
Continuous use
Batteries are drained much more quickly by con-
tinuous use then by intermittent use.
4. Storage
When not
in
use, the batteries should be removed
from the power supply to prevent leakage which
may damage the unit.
period of disuse, store the batteries
place below 20°C (68°F).
5. Battery brands
Do not mix brands of batteries or use batterie s with
different model numbers. Also, avoid mixing new
and old batteries since proper performance will not
be obtained and battery leakage may occur.
6.

Do not dispose of batteries by burning. Also,
