Notes on Battery Usage
„Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with your ViviCam 6150s. Use of unsuitable
batteries may result in the batteries splitting, or leaking and may caus\
e a fire, injury, or soiling of the
battery compartment.
„ When placing the batteries into the ViviCam  6150s, check the polarity markings on the batteries (-
and +) to ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly. Incorrect b\
attery polarity will result in
ViviCam inoperability and may result in the batteries splitting or leaki\
ng and causing a fire, injury, or
soiling of the battery compartment.
„ Remove the batteries if the ViviCam  6150s will not be used for an extended period of time. The
batteries may leak and cause a fire, injury or soiling of the battery co\
mpartment. If the batteries leak,
clean and wipe the battery compartment carefully and install new batteri\
es. Wash your hands carefully
if you touch the battery fluid.
When using batteries, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Ins\
tructions and the notes
described below:
„ Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are highly recommended. To maximize perform\
ance and lifetime, we
recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at \
least one complete cycle
before use.
„ Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures\
 can shorten the battery life
and reduce ViviCam  6150s’ performance. Low temperature will adversely affect alkaline battery\
performance.
„ Using new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not\
 been used for an extended
period of time will affect the number of images that can be captured.
„ If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, r\
emove them from the ViviCam
6150s  to prevent leakage or corrosion.
„ Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new b\
atteries. Never use manganese
batteries.
„ More information about batteries is provided in this manual in subsequen\
t sections.
