k Cautions when plugging in

i Securely plug the power cord all the way into the

power outlet. If the docking station or AC adaptor/

charger is used with the power cord not fully plugged

in, heat may be generated and cause a fire.

i Do not use if the power cord is damaged or cannot be

correctly plugged into the power outlet. Using in this

condition may cause a fire or electric shock.

i Do not allow dust, etc., to build up on the power cord

or power outlet. A build-up of dust may cause a short

circuit or generate heat and cause a fire.

i When unplugging the power cord, be sure to hold the

plug part and slowly pull it out of the power outlet.

Pulling the cord portion may damage the power cord

and cause a fire or electric shock.

k Do not pull on the power cord to unplug it

i Do not leave the power cord plugged into an electrical

outlet while the other end is not plugged into the AC

adaptor/charger. The loose end can cause

electrocution if touched with wet hands or if handled

by children.

i Use only the supplied power cord. If a different power

cord is used, it may be rated for a different current

load, and that may cause a fire.

i The supplied power cord is for exclusive use with the

devices supplied with your camera. Do not use it with

other devices, as doing so may cause a fire or electric

shock.

i Do not use a bundled power cord, as the heat

generated may cause a fire.

i When using an extension cord, make sure that the

total wattage of the connected devices does not

exceed the rated value of the extension cord. If the

power load exceeds the rated value, it may cause a

fire.

DANGER

English 14

k Do not damage the power cord

i Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not

place the power cord near a heat source. Do not

excessively bend the power cord, modify it, or secure

it with staples. Doing so may damage the power cord

and cause a fire or electric shock.

i If the power cord is damaged, or if it does not plug

properly into the docking station, AC adaptor/charger

or wall outlet, contact the place of purchase.

k Do not place on an unstable surface

i The camera may fall, resulting in damage to the

camera or injury.

i If it falls and the body is damaged, remove the battery

pack and contact the place of purchase. If used while

damaged, it may cause a fire, electric shock, or other

damage.

k Operating and storage conditions

i Do not use close to a heat source (close to a stove or

heater) or leave it exposed to direct sunlight.

CAUTION

Operating environment:

h Temperature 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) (charging)

h Humidity 20 to 80% (charging and storage)

17 English

USING YOUR CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY

k Use only the supplied docking station and AC

adaptor/charger

i If another charger is used, the battery pack may be

overcharged, or recharged with an abnormal voltage,

causing an abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or

cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or

spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

k Use the battery pack only in the specified device

i If the battery pack is used in a device other than that

specified, it may cause an abnormal voltage flow, or

cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or

spew battery fluid, or generate heat.

k Do not peel or damage the outer case

i Damaging the outer case, inserting nails, hitting with a

hammer, stepping on the battery pack, etc. may cause

a short circuit inside the battery pack or cause the

battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or spew

battery fluid, or generate heat.

k If the battery pack is leaking and the electrolyte

gets on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse

with clean water

i If the electrolyte gets into your eyes, you risk losing

your eyesight. Immediately rinse your eyes with clean,

running water, and seek medical attention right away.

Any electrolyte that comes into contact with your skin

or clothing may harm your skin. Immediately rinse the

area with clean, running water.

k Insert the battery pack correctly, as specified

i When installing the battery pack in the charger or

camera, pay attention to the indicated polarity (+ and –),

and insert it correctly.

i If the battery pack is installed with the wrong

orientation, it may cause an abnormal chemical

reaction while in the charger, an abnormal voltage

flow when it is used, or cause the battery pack to

catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or

generate heat.

DANGER

English 22

k Caution concerning the battery pack

i Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the battery

pack. Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so

will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and

oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance

increases, the usable life of the batteries will diminish.

k Caution when cleaning the lens

i If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning

cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.

k When not using the camera for a long period

i Remove the battery pack. However, when the battery pack is removed for a

long time, the camera functions may begin to not work properly.

Periodically reinstall the battery pack and check the camera functions.

i If the battery pack is left in the camera, a small amount of power is still

used even if the camera is turned off. If the battery pack is left in the

camera for a long period, it may become completely discharged and lose

its ability to be recharged again.

k Cautions concerning condensation

i Using the camera with condensation inside it may damage the camera.

If condensation seems likely to form

i Place the camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the

camera has reached the ambient temperature.

Be careful of condensation under the following conditions

i When moving the camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm place.

i When the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater

is turned on to quickly heat the room.

i When the camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air conditioner.

i When the camera is placed in a location of high humidity.

23 English

FOR CORRECT USE OF YOUR CAMERA

k Caution concerning undesired interference

i The camera may create undesired interference if used close to a television

or radio. To avoid this type of interference, make sure the cores on the

supplied cables are not removed.

k Caution concerning magnetism

i Do not place credit cards, bank cards, floppy disks, or other items that may

be damaged by magnetic fields near the speaker. Data may be lost or the

magnetic strips on cards may be damaged.

k Cautions concerning data storage

i It is recommended that any important data be copied onto a separate

media (such as a hard disk, MO disk, or CD-R disk).

i Stored data may be lost (or corrupted) in cases such as those listed below.

Sanyo Electric will not be held responsible for any damage or lost profits

arising from the loss of data.

by setting the camera in the docking station (page 142).

CAUTION

When recharging the installed battery...

i When recharging a battery pack set in the AC adaptor/charger’s battery

slot, the AC adaptor/charger does not supply power to the docking station.

you risk losing the data stored in the card.

NOTE

About the internal backup battery

i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time

settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully

charged when the batteries are kept in the camera continuously for about 2

days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the

camera settings for about 7 days.

When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack

i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it

is therefore recommended that the batteries be removed from the camera
