Do not mix up new and old batteries or different types of battery.
This could cause your camera to malfunction. In addition, the weaker
batteries would discharge too much.
Remove used batteries from the camera immediately.
Remove the batteries from the appliance if you do not intend to use it for
a long period of time.
Immediately replace all used batteries in a camera with new batteries of
the same type.
Insulate the battery contacts with an adhesive strip, if you wish to store
or dispose of the batteries.
Safety precautions
Take the following safety precautions, in order to avoid damage to your
camera and to always keep it in perfect condition.
Store in dry conditions
The camera itself is not watertight. It may only be immersed in water if it
is inside the underwater casing supplied.
Before immersing the camera in water, ensure that the underwater
casing is tightly closed and that there is nothing jammed between the
casing cover and the rubber seal.
Keep away from damp, salt and dust.
Wipe off salt and dust with a light, damp cloth if you have been using
the camera on the beach or by the seaside. Carefully dry the camera
afterwards.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields.
Never place the camera too close to appliances which generate strong
electromagnetic fields, such as, for example, electric motors. Strong
electromagnetic fields may result in camera malfunctions or disturb the
data recording.
Avoid excessive heat
Do not use or store the camera in sunlight or at high temperatures.
