First aid:
• If battery fluid comes into contact with the eyes, there is a risk
of blinding.
Wash the eyes thoroughly with clean water immediately. Do not
rub the eyes. Seek medical attention immediately.
• If leaked fluid gets onto the skin or clothing, there is a risk of
injury. Wash the affected areas with clean water.
Notes:
• The battery is supplied partially charged, but it should be
charged before long periods of use.
• In order to charge the battery, it must have a temperature of
between 0°C and 35°C / 32°F and 95°F (otherwise the
charger may not turn on or off again).
• Lithium ion batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of
their current charge level. If a battery is only partly discharged
when charging starts, it is charged to full capacity faster.
• Lithium ion batteries should only be stored in a partially charged
condition, i.e. not fully charged or fully discharged. For very long
storage periods, batteries should be charged for around 15
minutes around twice a year to prevent total discharge.
• The batteries warm up during the charging process. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
• A new battery only reaches its full capacity after it has been fully
charged and – by use in the camera – discharged 2 or 3 times.
This discharge procedure should be repeated every 25 cycles.
• Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through
internal chemical reactions. These reactions are also influenced
by the external temperature and humidity. To ensure a maximum
service life of the battery, it should not be exposed to (high or
low) extremes of temperature (e.g. in a parked car in the
summer or winter).
• Even with optimum conditions of use, every battery has a limited
service life. After several hundred charging cycles, this becomes
noticeable as the operating times get significantly shorter.
• Take damaged batteries to an appropriate collection point for
proper recycling, in line with the applicable regulations (see p.
119).
• The replaceable battery supplies another back-up battery that is
integrated into the camera. This back-up battery ensures that
the date and time data entered is retained for up to 2 days. If
this back-up battery becomes discharged it must be recharged
by inserting a charged main battery. Once the replaceable
battery has been inserted, the full capacity of the back-up
battery is recovered after about 60 hours. This process does not
require the camera to be turned on. However, the date and time
will need to be entered again.
• Remove the battery if you will not be using the camera for a long
period of time. When doing so, turn the camera off using the
main switch first. Otherwise, after several weeks the battery
could become totally discharged, i.e. the voltage is sharply
reduced as the camera still consumes a small amount of current
(for saving your settings) even when it is turned off.
