• Never touch the AC adaptor while your hands are wet.
Doing so creates the risk of electric shock.

fire and electric shock. Make sure you observe the
following precautions when using the AC adaptor.
— Never locate the power cord near a stove or other
heating device.
— When unplugging from the wall outlet, grasp the
plug on the AC adaptor power cord. Never pull on
the power cord.
— Insert the plug into the wall outlet as far as it will go.
— Unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet before
leaving the camera unattended for long periods,
such as when leaving on a trip, etc.

the prongs.
IMPORTANT!
■ Battery Life
• The battery lives noted in the User’s Guide are
approximate values until power fails, based on use of
batteries of recommended brands at normal
temperature (23°C (73°F)), and do not guarantee you
will be able to achieve operation for the life noted.
Actual battery life is greatly affected by the battery
brand, battery production date, and ambient
temperature.
• Leaving the camera on can run down batteries and
cause the low battery warning to appear. Turn off the
camera whenever you are not using it.
• Sometimes, the camera may shutdown after the low
battery warning appears. If this happens, immediately
replace both of the batteries. Leaving low or dead
batteries in the camera can lead to battery leakage and
data corruption.
• Though you could use alkaline batteries when there are
no other types of batteries available, note that the life of
alkaline batteries will be very short. Use of
rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries or lithium
batteries is recommended.
