remove it from the wall outlet immediately. To avoid damage from unexpected
power surges, always unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and
disconnect it from the camera when the camera is not in use.
Overloading — Never overload wall outlets, extension cords, power strips, or
other power connection points with too many plugs.

Handling the Camera
WARNING
( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
• To avoid causing a fire or explosion, never use the camera near flammable
or explosive gases.
( Do not use the flash on people (infants, small children, etc.) at
close range.
• Use caution when taking flash pictures at close range. When you fire the
flash, you must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects,
especially when taking pictures of infants and small children. Firing the flash
too close to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision.
6
Safety Precautions
( Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and
infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause
serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.
• Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.
( Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
• To avoid damaging your eyes, never aim the camera directly into the sun,
or any other extremely bright light source.
( Do not touch charging batteries (included in some areas) or the
battery charger until charging is finished and the batteries have
cooled.
• The batteries and battery charger become hot while charging. A specified
AC adapter also becomes hot during long use. At these times, they may
cause minor burns.
( Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Using or storing the camera in dusty or humid places may result in a fire or
electric shock.
( Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
• Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing or touch it after it has just been
fired. It may be hot and cause minor burns. Avoid using the flash for
extended periods.
( Do not take apart or modify the camera.
• Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain high
voltage points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock.
( Do not let water or foreign objects inside the camera.
• If the camera is accidentally dropped in water, or if liquid is spilled into the
camera, stop using it, allow it to dry, and then remove the batteries. Contact
the nearest authorized Olympus service center.
En
CAUTION
( Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual
odors, noise, or smoke around it.
• If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera during
operation, switch it off immediately – and disconnect a specified AC adapter
(if attached). Allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the
camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and carefully remove the
batteries. Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a
fire or burn your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center
immediately.
7
Safety Precautions
( Do not use the camera with wet hands.
• To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera with
wet hands.
( Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause
the camera to catch fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is covered
(such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.
( Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature
burn.
• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a lowtemperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
• When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the
camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
En
• In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the
camera’s body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If
possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
( Be careful with the strap.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch
on stray objects – and cause serious damage.
( Use only the AC adapter specified by Olympus.
• Never use any AC adapter except one specified by Olympus. Using a
different AC adapter may damage the camera or power source, or result in
accidents or fire. Ensure the adapter used is designed for your region or
country. For more information, contact the nearest Olympus service center
or the store of purchase. Olympus makes no representations or warranties
regarding any damages caused by AC adapters not recommended by
Olympus.
( Do not damage the power-supply cord.
• Never pull or modify the power-supply cord of the AC adapter or
accessories. Make sure only the plug is securely held during insertion and
removal from the outlet. Stop using the camera immediately, and contact the
nearest Olympus service center or the store of purchase if:
• The power-supply cord becomes hot, or it gives off smoke or unusual
odors.
• The power-supply cord is cut or damaged, or the plug has a faulty
contact.

Safety Precautions
Battery handling precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking,
overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.
DANGER
• When using NiMH batteries (included in some areas), use only the Olympus
brand NiMH batteries and fitting charger.
• Never heat or incinerate batteries.
• Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from
coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
• Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected
to high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc.
• To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals, carefully follow all
instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a
battery or modify it in any way, by soldering, etc.
• Never attempt to connect a battery directly to a power outlet, or to a cigarette
lighter in a vehicle.
• If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with clear, cold
running water and seek medical attention immediately.
• Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally
swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately.
WARNING
• Keep batteries dry at all times. Never allow them to come into contact with fresh
or salt water.
• To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a fire or explosion,
use only batteries recommended for use with this product.
• Never mix batteries (old and new batteries, charged and uncharged batteries,
batteries of different manufacture or capacity, etc.).
• Never attempt to charge alkaline, lithium or CR-V3 lithium battery packs.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions. Never load
the battery with its +/- terminals reversed. Never force the battery into the battery
compartment.
• Do not use batteries if their body is not covered by the insulating sheet or if the
sheet is torn, as this may cause fluid leaks, fire, or injury. Do not use these
batteries even if they were purchased in this condition.
