This lithium ion battery is intended for use with a
CASIO Digital Camera only. For details about the
camera models that this battery can be wed with, see
the user documentation that comes with your camera.
Use of a battery in cold environments shortens the

BATTERY STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure you remove the battery from the camera
when you do not plan to use it for a long time. A battery
left in the camera discharges very small amounts of
power even when power is turned off, which can lead to
a dead battery or the need for longer charging before
the next use.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place (20°C (68°F) or
lower).
USING THE BATTERY
When transporting a battery, keep it either loaded in
the camera or stored in its case.
