Notes on Battery Usage

When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions and the notes described below:

Use only the specified battery (7.4V).

Avoid extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce camera performance.

When you are using a new rechargeable battery or a rechargeable battery that has not been used for an extended period of time (a battery that passed the expiry date is an exception), it may affect the number of images that can be captured. To maximize its performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the battery and discharge it for at least one complete cycle before use.

The camera may feel warm after a long period of continuous use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

If the battery is not to be used for a long period of time, remove it from the camera. If stored for a long time in a fully charged condition, its performance may be impaired.

Always keep the battery terminals clean.

Only use the specified battery or its equivalent with this product.

Properly dispose the battery when it will no longer charge.

Do not short the terminals of the battery.
