The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes 
from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to 
the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, 
the operating time of the battery will become shorter.
Always remove the battery after use.
•
Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep a way from metallic objects (clips, 
etc.).
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the body  of the battery and the 
terminals are damaged.
•
Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camer a.
Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
•Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in low temperature conditions 
such as at a ski resort.
•When you travel, do not forget to bring the AC adaptor (supplie d) and USB connection cable 
(supplied) so that you can charge the battery in the country th at you are traveling in.
Dispose of unusable battery.
•The battery has a limited life.
•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an expl osion.•The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with bat tery recycling laws. Call the 
RBRC hotline at 1-800-822-8837 for information.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal  objects (such as 
necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
•
This can cause short-circuiting or heat generation and you may  be badly burned if you touch a 
battery.
•If you use the AC adaptor (supplied) near a radio, the radio re ception may be disturbed.
Keep the AC adaptor (supplied) 1 m  (3.3 feet) or further away from radios.
•The AC adaptor (supplied) may generate whirring sounds when it  is being used. This is not a 
malfunction.

∫Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static electricity or 
interference
•
Do not use the camera in areas with magnetic fields, static ele ctricity or interference, such as 
near microwave ovens. These may cause the interruption of the r adio waves.
•Using the camera near devices such as microwave ovens or cordle ss telephones that use the 
2.4 GHz radio wave band may cause a decrease in performance in both devices.
∫ Do not connect to the wireless network you are not authorized t o use
When the camera utilizes its Wi-Fi function, wireless networks  will be searched 
automatically. When this happens , wireless networks that you are not authorized to use 
(SSID
¢) may be displayed, however  do not attempt to connec t to the ne twork as it may be 
considered as unauthorized access.
