Notes on Battery Usage
Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your ViviCam 5385. Use of unsuitable batteries may result in the batteries splitting, or leaking and may cause a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.
When placing the batteries into the ViviCam 5385, check the polarity markings on the batteries (- and +) to ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly. Incorrect battery polarity will result in ViviCam inoperability and may result in the batteries splitting or leaking and causing a fire, injury, or soiling of the battery compartment.
Remove the batteries if the ViviCam 5385 will not be used for an extended period of time. The batteries may leak and cause a fire, injury or soiling of the battery compartment. If the batteries leak, clean and wipe the battery compartment carefully and install new batteries. Wash your hands carefully if you touch the battery fluid.
When using batteries, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions and the notes described below:
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are highly recommended. To maximize performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete cycle before use.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce digital camera’s performance. Low temperature will adversely affect alkaline battery performance.
Using new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not been used for an extended period of time will affect the number of images that can be captured.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the camera to prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries. Never use manganese batteries.
More information about batteries is provided in this manual in subsequent sections.
