to leak. If the internal fluid enters your eyes or comes into contact with your body or clothes, rinse with fresh
water. If the internal fluid has entered your eyes, consult a physician to receive treatment.
A camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it, strike it or use excessive force when handling the camera.
This might cause damage to the camera.
Do not use the camera in humid, steamy, smoky, or dusty places. This might cause fire or electric shock.
Do not remove the battery immediately after long period of continuous use. The battery becomes hot during use.
Touching a hot battery might cause burns.
Do not wrap the camera or place it in cloth or blankets. This might cause heat to build up and deform the case,
resulting in fire. Use the camera in a well-ventilated place.
Do not leave the camera in places where the temperature may raise significantly, such as inside a car. This
might adversely affect the case or the parts inside, resulting in fire.

NOTES ON BA TTERY USAGE
Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your Vivicam 2005. 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 camera, check the polarity markings on the batteries ( - and + ) to ensure that the batteries are inserted
correctly. Incorrect battery polarity will result in 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 camera will not be used for an extended
3
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 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 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.
