USING YOUR DIGITAL DISK CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following safety precautions are to ensure the safe and correct use of your digital disk camera and prevent injury to the user and others, and property damage. Be sure to read carefully all the precautions listed here before using your digital disk camera.

LI-ION BATTERY PACK (UR-121)

DANGER

Your digital disk camera uses a Li-ion battery pack (part number UR-121).

■ If you notice leaking electrolyte, discoloration, deformation, damaged portions, strange odors, or other abnormality, immediately remove from the device, stop use, and move away from any open flames

œ If you continue use under these conditions, it may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack,

eruption of electrolyte, or smoking.

œ If electrolyte is leaking and a flame or spark occurs nearby, the electrolyte in the battery pack

may ignite causing a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption of electrolyte, or smoking.

■ Do not disassemble or modify

œ The battery pack is equipped with built-in safety mechanisms and protection

devices to prevent dangerous accidents. Disassembling, modifying, soldering, or other similar operations on the battery pack may render these mechanisms or devices dysfunctional and cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, or an eruption or leakage of electrolyte.

■ Do not short the positive (+) and negative (–) poles with a metal pin or other object and do not carry or store together with a metal necklace or other object

œ If the poles are shorted, a large amount of current will flow, which may cause a fire, rupturing of

the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating. Also, the metal object shorting the poles together will become excessively hot. When carrying or storing the battery pack, always place it in the supplied protective cover.

■ Do not place in a fire or expose to excessive heat

œ The insulation may melt or the gas venting valves and safety mechanisms may fail

allowing the electrolyte to ignite and cause a fire or rupturing of the battery pack.

■ Do not drop or subject to strong impacts

œ Strong impacts may damage the safety mechanisms and protective devices and

cause a chemical reaction within the battery pack that may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.

■ Do not submerge in water or wet the terminals

œ This will cause corrosion and damage the safety mechanisms and protective

devices leading to a chemical reaction within the battery pack that may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.

English

■ Cautions concerning the locations of use and storage

œ Ambient temperature during use or charging: 0 to 40° C

Do not use, recharge, store, or leave near an open flame, in a car under the hot sun, or in any other hot location (60°C or higher).

Extreme heat will damage the safety mechanisms and protective devices and cause a chemical reaction within the battery pack that may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating. If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will become unusable.

If subject to extremely hot or cold conditions, the capacity of the battery pack will decrease and its usable life will be shortened. Use in ambient temperatures of 20±5°C is recommended. Ambient temperatures below 10°C will cause the operation time to become drastically shortened.

œ Ambient temperature during storage: – 20 to 30°C

When storing the battery pack, remove it from the device, insert it into its protective cover, and store it in a location between –20°C and 30°C.

œ Ambient humidity: 45 to 85% RH

■ Only recharge using the supplied NC-LSC04WSA AC adapter/charger

œ If recharged using a different charger, an excessive charging condition or abnormal

electrical currents may result and cause a chemical reaction within the battery pack. This may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.

■ Only use with the specified devices

œ If used with devices not specified for its use, abnormal electrical currents may

result and cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.

■ Do not remove or damage the covering

œ Removing the covering, piercing with a nail, hitting with a hammer, stepping on, or

damaging the cover in any way may cause an internal short and result in a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.

■ If you come in contact with electrolyte, immediately rinse with water

œ If the electrolyte gets into your eyes, you risk losing your eyesight. Do not rub

your eyes, wash them immediately with clean water, and seek medical attention right away. If electrolyte gets on your skin or clothing, it may cause irritation. Immediately wash with clean water.

■ Always insert orientated as indicated

œ When inserting the battery pack in the AC adapter/charger or digital disk camera,

make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals are oriented correctly as indicated.

œ If the battery pack is used or charged with the polarity of the terminals reversed, an abnormal

chemical reaction will occur during charging and an abnormal current will flow during use. Both may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.

English

WARNING

■ If charging is not completed even after the specified time elapses, stop the charging immediately

œ If charging is continued, it may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption

or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.

■ Keep out of the reach of children

œ The battery pack is not a toy and an unforeseeable accident may occur if

handled by children.

CAUTION

■ Recharge before use

œ Always first recharge the battery pack before using it for the first time, or before

using it after a long period of non-use. During recharging, the battery pack will be warm. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

■ Cautions concerning the iD PHOTO disk

œ The iD PHOTO disk is provided for use with devices displaying the iD

PHOTO logo mark for the storage and playback of image data. Do not

use with devices that do not display the iD PHOTO logo mark for doing so may cause damage to the device and the disk.

œ The iD PHOTO disk is a precision device. Do not bend, drop, or subject

it to strong forces or shocks.

œ Do not open the shutter and touch the iD PHOTO disk inside. œ Immediately after use, the iD PHOTO disk may be very hot. Before

removing the iD PHOTO disk, turn off the digital disk camera and wait until the disk cools.

œ Keep out of the reach of children. Children may put the disk in their mouths or perform some

other unforeseeable action.

Cautions when handling the iD PHOTO disk

œ Avoid storing or using the iD PHOTO disk in places similar to those given below for they may

cause damage or the disk to malfunction.

Places in direct sunlight or near heat generating equipment

Places extremely cold

Places with excessive dust, dirt, or humidity

Places subject to vibrations

Places with drastic humidity and temperature changes

Places with excessive static electricity or electromagnetic noise

œ Do not place the iD PHOTO disk near magnets or in strong magnetic

fields.

œ Do not disassemble the iD PHOTO disk. œ Do not allow the iD PHOTO disk to get wet. œ Wipe away dust or dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents. œ Do not use in locations with drastic temperature changes or in locations

with a high humidity. These locations are subject to condensation. If condensation occurs in the iD PHOTO disk, reading from and writing to the disk may become impossible.

œ Before using an iD PHOTO disk for the first time, be sure to format it with your digital disk

camera first (see pages 155, 157).

œ Before capturing important images, it is recommended to first try capturing images to make

sure that the digital disk camera works properly. Also, to further ensure that images are captured properly, perform a full format beforehand (see page 157).

œ Attach the labels carefully so that they will not come off accidentally. If the label comes off

during insertion or removal of the iD PHOTO disk from the digital disk camera, it may cause damage (see page 18).

œ Do not allow dirt or other foreign particles to enter the shutter portion of the iD PHOTO disk.

Wipe away any dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents.

Cautions when carrying or storing the iD PHOTO disk

œ Always remove the iD PHOTO disk from the digital disk camera after you have finished using it. œ When not using the iD PHOTO disk, always keep it in its protective case. œ Do not carry the iD PHOTO disk inside trouser pockets, as it may become damaged when you

sit down or make other movements that may apply forces.

Making sure that data on your iD PHOTO disk does not become erased

Move the write-protect tab to the “ è” mark.

œ Move the tab using a sharp item such as the end of a

ballpoint pen.

œ Saving (adding data such as capturing images or

recording), deleting, and formatting will become impossible.

œ To make it possible to perform saving, deleting, and

formatting again, move the tab back to its original position.

■ Cautions concerning data storage

œ The iD PHOTO disk is a highly reliable storage device, however it is recommended that any

important data be copied onto a separate media (such as a floppy disk, hard disk, or MO disk) for added safety against unforeseeable accidents.

œ Stored data may be lost (or corrupted) in cases such as those listed below. Sanyo Electric will

not be held responsible for any damage or lost profits arising from the loss of data.

If the iD PHOTO disk is used incorrectly.

If the iD PHOTO disk is not inserted correctly into the digital disk camera.

If the iD PHOTO disk is subjected to electrical or mechanical shocks or other forces.

If the iD PHOTO disk is removed from the digital disk camera or if the digital disk camera is turned off during reading or writing operations.

If the iD PHOTO disk has reached the end of its usable life.

■ Cautions concerning vibrations

œ If the digital disk camera is subject to vibrations or shocks during image capturing or the

playing back of data, the data may not be properly read or written. Therefore always be careful not subject the digital disk camera to vibrations or shocks during use.

■ Cautions concerning rises in temperature

œ During use, ã or ä may appear to tell you that the internal temperature of the digital disk

camera is rising. If this occurs, stop operations and turn off the digital disk camera as soon as possible. See pages 167 and 168 for further information.
