It is crucial to change the batteries once you see only one Hash mark in the battery indicator.
•If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace the dead batteries or if you take the batteries in and out repeatedly at short intervals, you may have to redo the battery and time settings. In this case, the [Battery] screen will appear. For more details, refer to “Battery settings” ( P.12).

Cautions concerning the rechargeable batteries
Read the following descriptions carefully when you use the Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
Discharging:
The rechargeable batteries self-discharge while this is not in use. Be sure to charge them regularly before use.
Operating temperature:
The rechargeable batteries are chemical products. The rechargeable batteries efficiency may fluctuate even when operating within the recommended temperature range. This is an inherent nature of such products.
Recommended temperature range:
When operating appliance:
0°C - 42°C/ 32°F - 107.6°F
Charging:
5°C - 35°C/ 41°F - 95°F
Storage for a long period:
–20°C - 30°C/ –4°F - 86°F
Using the rechargeable batteries outside the above temperature range may result in declining efficiency and shorter battery life. In order to prevent battery leakage or rust, remove the rechargeable batteries from the products when you will not be using them for a long time, and store them separately.
