Important Safety Instructions (continued)

NOTE

Selecting Batteries for Your Camera

• This camera can use four AA NiMH batteries, four AA Alkaline

batteries, four AA lithium batteries, four AA NiCd batteries, or two CR-

V3 lithium battery packs. Use of Olympus brand batteries is strongly

recommended.

• Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low

temperatures. Using NiMH batteries is recommended.

• AA Zinc-carbon batteries cannot be used with this camera.

• Always follow the battery recommendations and loading instructions.

Incorrectly loading the batteries could cause the batteries to leak or

overheating.

• When using the camera on battery power at low temperatures, try to

keep the camera and extra batteries as warm as possible. Batteries

which run down at low temperatures may be restored after they are

warmed at ambient temperature.

• Perspiration or oil from your hands on the battery contacts could

prevent them from operating. Before loading batteries, wipe the

terminals with a dry, clean cloth.

• Before going on a long trip, especially before traveling abroad,

purchase an ample supply of extra batteries. The recommended

batteries may be difficult to obtain while traveling.

• Always recharge NiMH or NiCd batteries with a charger

recommended for use with these batteries.

• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the instructions

provided with purchase of these batteries.

• To avoid personal injury or damage to the camera, always inspect

batteries before loading. If you notice leaking, damage to the battery

cover or insulation, discoloration, warping or any other abnormality do

not use the batteries.

• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:

Operation..................................... 32° ~ 104°F

Charge......................................... 32° ~ 104°F

Storage........................................ –4° ~ 86°F

• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could

shorten battery life or affect battery performance. Always unload the

batteries from the camera before storing the camera and batteries for

a long period.

WARNING

1 During operation of the camera, if you notice any unusual odors,

noise, or smoke around the camera, immediately switch the camera

off, disconnect the optional AC adapter (if it is connected), and allow

the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool. Take

the camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and carefully

remove the batteries to avoid burning your hands. Contact the

nearest Olympus service center immediately.

2 Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits

contain high voltage points which could cause serious burns or

electrical shock.

3 To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the

camera with wet hands.

4 To avoid damaging the camera or causing a fire, never expose the

camera to excessive heat.

Camera Care and Storage

HANDLING

• Never store or use the camera for long periods in locations subject to

direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme variation in temperature, or

strong shocks and constant vibration. Protect the camera at all times

from dust and sand.

• Never store the camera near any type of appliance or equipment

which generates high temperatures, low temperatures, high or low

humidity, or a strong magnetic field. Never use the camera in a factory

or laboratory where flammable gases are present.

• Never shake the camera or subject it to shock or strong vibration.

• To avoid damaging its precision lens, never leave the camera pointing

directly into the sun.

• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the batteries.

Select a cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold

from forming inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by

pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating

normally.

• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, adjust the tripod head to re-

position the camera; do not twist the camera.

• Never touch the flash after it has been fired. Avoid using the flash for

extended periods. Allow it to cool occasionally between shots.

• To avoid injury from electrical shock, never attempt to disassemble or

modify the camera in any way.
