USING YOUR DIGITAL DISK CAMERA SAFELY
AND CORRECTLY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions are to ensure the safe and correct use of your digital disk
camera and prevent injury to the user and others, and property damage. Be sure to read carefully
all the precautions listed here before using your digital disk camera.
LI-ION BATTERY PACK (UR-121)
DANGER
Your digital disk camera uses a Li-ion battery pack (part number UR-121).
I If you notice leaking electrolyte, discoloration, deformation,
damaged portions, strange odors, or other abnormality,
immediately remove from the device, stop use, and move
away from any open flames
œ If you continue use under these conditions, it may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack,
eruption of electrolyte, or smoking.
œ If electrolyte is leaking and a flame or spark occurs nearby, the electrolyte in the battery pack
may ignite causing a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption of electrolyte, or smoking.
I Do not disassemble or modify
œ The battery pack is equipped with built-in safety mechanisms and protection
devices to prevent dangerous accidents. Disassembling, modifying, soldering,
or other similar operations on the battery pack may render these mechanisms or
devices dysfunctional and cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, or an eruption or leakage
of electrolyte.
I Do not short the positive (+) and negative (–) poles with a
metal pin or other object and do not carry or store together
with a metal necklace or other object
œ If the poles are shorted, a large amount of current will flow, which may cause a fire, rupturing of
the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating. Also, the metal object
shorting the poles together will become excessively hot. When carrying or storing the battery
pack, always place it in the supplied protective cover.
I Do not place in a fire or expose to excessive heat
œ The insulation may melt or the gas venting valves and safety mechanisms may fail
allowing the electrolyte to ignite and cause a fire or rupturing of the battery pack.
I Do not drop or subject to strong impacts
œ Strong impacts may damage the safety mechanisms and protective devices and
cause a chemical reaction within the battery pack that may cause a fire, rupturing
of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.
I Do not submerge in water or wet the terminals
œ This will cause corrosion and damage the safety mechanisms and protective
devices leading to a chemical reaction within the battery pack that may cause a
fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.
5 English
I Cautions concerning the locations of use and storage
œ Ambient temperature during use or charging: 0 to 40°C
Do not use, recharge, store, or leave near an open flame, in a car under the hot sun, or
in any other hot location (60°C or higher).
Extreme heat will damage the safety mechanisms and protective devices and cause a
chemical reaction within the battery pack that may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery
pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating. If the safety mechanisms and
protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will become unusable.
If subject to extremely hot or cold conditions, the capacity of the battery pack will
decrease and its usable life will be shortened. Use in ambient temperatures of 20±5°C
is recommended. Ambient temperatures below 10°C will cause the operation time to
become drastically shortened.
œ Ambient temperature during storage: –20 to 30°C
When storing the battery pack, remove it from the device, insert it into its protective
cover, and store it in a location between –20°C and 30°C.
œ Ambient humidity: 45 to 85% RH
I Only recharge using the supplied NC-LSC04WSA AC
adapter/charger
œ If recharged using a different charger, an excessive charging condition or abnormal
electrical currents may result and cause a chemical reaction within the battery
pack. This may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or
overheating.
I Only use with the specified devices
œ If used with devices not specified for its use, abnormal electrical currents may
result and cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of
electrolyte, or overheating.
I Do not remove or damage the covering
œ Removing the covering, piercing with a nail, hitting with a hammer, stepping on, or
damaging the cover in any way may cause an internal short and result in a fire,
rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.
I If you come in contact with electrolyte, immediately rinse
with water
œ If the electrolyte gets into your eyes, you risk losing your eyesight. Do not rub
your eyes, wash them immediately with clean water, and seek medical attention
right away. If electrolyte gets on your skin or clothing, it may cause irritation. Immediately wash
with clean water.
I Always insert orientated as indicated
œ When inserting the battery pack in the AC adapter/charger or digital disk camera,
make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals are oriented correctly as
indicated.
œ If the battery pack is used or charged with the polarity of the terminals reversed, an abnormal
chemical reaction will occur during charging and an abnormal current will flow during use. Both
may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption or leakage of electrolyte, or
overheating.
English 6
WARNING
I If charging is not completed even after the specified time
elapses, stop the charging immediately
œ If charging is continued, it may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption
or leakage of electrolyte, or overheating.
I Keep out of the reach of children
œ The battery pack is not a toy and an unforeseeable accident may occur if
handled by children.
CAUTION
I Recharge before use
œ Always first recharge the battery pack before using it for the first time, or before
using it after a long period of non-use. During recharging, the battery pack will
be warm. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
I Take care when handling immediately after use
œ The battery pack may be extremely hot immediately after use. After turning
off the digital disk camera, allow time for the battery pack to cool before
removing it.
I Cautions concerning recycling
œ To help preserve the environment and promote the effective use of resources,
when the battery pack has ended its usable life, completely discharge it, place
tape on its positive (+) and negative (–) terminals to prevent shorting, and hand
it in for recycling.
œ If you must dispose of the battery pack yourself, always dispose of it as
nonflammable refuse and follow the regulations for your area.
