Accessories

z If charging does not complete although 10 hours have elapsed after the

specified charge time, stop charging to avoid fire, overheating or explosion.

In this case, contact Olympus Service Center.

z The battery gets hot after extended use in a camera. To prevent burns, do

not remove the battery from the camera immediately after use.

z Do not place the battery on an unstable surface such as a tilted or unsteady

table. If the battery falls off, it may be damaged or cause injury.

z Do not shake the charger with a battery in. The battery could fly out of the

charger and cause injury or damage.

z Do not place a heavy object on the charger or power cord. Also do not use

or store the charger or power cord in a location from which they might easily

fall, such as on top of a TV.

z Do not store or use the charger where it may be exposed to moisture or

excessive dust. Be sure to remove dust from the power plug before

plugging it into a power outlet.

z Do not charge a battery in an extremely cold or hot environment. The

optimum environmental temperature range when charging battery is

between 10

°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). Outside this range, a decrease in

battery performance may result.

z Keep the power cord unplugged from a power outlet unless when using the

charger.

z Do not pull on the cord when unplugging the power cord from a power

outlet. Grasp the plug to remove it. Also do not bend or pull the cord

excessively or place a heavy object on it. Damage to the power cord may

result in fire, overheating or electric shock.

Operating precautions

 At time of purchase

• The battery is not charged at the factory. Charge it before use. Also,

whenever the battery has not been used for a long period, recharge it

before use.

• Check that the battery terminals are clean before use. If they are dirty,

contact failure may cause problems with charging or shorten the battery's

operation time after charging.

 Care

• Clean the battery/charger and terminals by wiping them with a soft, dry

cloth. Never use a wet cloth, alcohol, lacquer thinner, benzene or

detergent.
