41GETTING READY Replacing the Battery 1. Open the battery cover. 2.With the camera oriented with its monitor screen facing upwards as shown in the illustration, slide the stopper in the direction indicated by the arrow and hold it there. •This will cause the battery to come out part way. 3.While still holding the stopper, pull the battery out the rest of the way. 4.Load a new battery. Battery Precautions ■Precautions during Use •Operation provided by a battery under cold conditions is always less than operation under normal temperatures. This is due to the characteristics of the battery, not the camera. •Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside this temperature range can cause charging to take longer than normal or even cause charging to fail. •If a battery provides only very limited operation following a full charge, it probably means that the battery has reached the end of its service life. Replace the battery with a new one. Stopper Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Casio Manuals
42GETTING READY ■Storage Precautions •Though a rechargeable lithium ion battery provides high capacity in a compact configuration, long-term storage while charged can cause it to deteriorate. – If you do not plan to use a battery for some time, fully use up its charge before storing it. – Always remove the battery from the camera when you are not using it. Leaving a battery in the camera can cause it to discharge and go dead, which will require longer charging when you need to use the camera. – Store batteries in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or lower).Note the following precautions. •The bundled AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the power cord plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera and AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power supply requirements in your destination(s). •Do not connect the AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction. ■Extra Batteries Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-50) is recommended while on a trip in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.
