USING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY
(CONCERNING THE DIGITAL CAMERA)
WARNING
General precautions concerning the batteries
œUse the rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries supplied with
the digital camera. Manganese batteries cannot be used, as they
have a short battery life and may overheat, causing damage to the
digital camera.
œDo not use a recharged battery together with a discharged battery. Do
not use nickel metal hydride batteries together with Ni-Cd batteries, or
batteries of different types or different brands at the same time.
œMake sure not to invert the polarity ((+) and (–)) when installing the
batteries. Install the batteries following the indicated polarity.
œUse of different types of batteries at the same time may generate heat or
cause the batteries to leak, resulting in fire, injury or burns, or damage to
the digital camera and any other nearby object.
œUse only specified batteries. Use of batteries without protective casings
or other inferior products may cause a fire, injury, or burns.
œThe batteries may be warm immediately after the digital
camera is used. If removing the batteries, turn off the digital
camera and allow the batteries to cool down before
removing them.
œIf a battery is leaking and the electrolyte gets on your skin
or clothing, immediately rinse with clean water. 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.
œDo not drop or hit the batteries, or submit them to strong shocks.
œIf the digital camera is not going to be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries and store them in a cool place. (When the batteries
are removed for a long period, the time and date settings will be cleared.)
œWhen disposing of the batteries, make sure to follow all applicable
regulations.
œIf used in temperature below 10°C, the service life of the batteries will be
shorter than normal.
œAlways read the instruction manuals that may come with the batteries you
purchase before use.

When walking around, hold the digital camera in your hand
or place it in a pocket.
œBe careful not to drop the digital camera or subject it to
strong shocks.
œMake sure direct sunlight does not hit the digital camera lens, as that may
damage the internal parts. When not using the digital camera, be sure to
always turn it off and keep the lens cover closed.
BIf the digital camera is not going to be used for a long
period of time
œFor safety’s sake, remove the batteries from the camera.
This will prevent any possible excess heat or leakage of
battery fluid that may result in injuries or damage to nearby
objects. (Note that when the batteries are removed for a
long period, the time and date settings will be cleared.)

USING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY
Concerning the supplied battery charger
DANGER
BDo not recharge batteries that are not nickel metal hydride
batteries or Ni-Cd batteries
œDo not use the supplied battery charger to recharge
batteries other than the rechargeable nickel metal hydride
batteries (HR-3U or HR-4U, supplied with the digital
camera or sold separately) or Ni-Cd batteries (N-3US, N-3U
or N-4U, sold separately). Recharging a dry-cell battery or
other type of rechargeable battery may cause excess heat,
combustion, or leakage, and cause a fire, injuries, burns, or
damage to nearby objects.
BDo not invert the polarity ((+) and (–)) of the batteries
œPlace the batteries in the battery charger with the (+) and
(–) terminals oriented as indicated on the charger. If the
batteries are placed in the wrong orientation, the batteries
may leak, overheat, explode, or be damaged.
BUse a 100 to 240 V AC power supply
œIf used with a power supply other than the one specified, it
may cause a fire or electric shock.
BDo not disassemble or modify the battery charger
œIt is dangerous to touch the inside of the battery charger.
Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.
œDo not use the battery charger as a direct current generator.
SX215/EX, U (VPC-MZ2 GB) Mon. March 25/2002
13 English

BDo not get the battery charger wet
œMake sure the battery charger does not get wet, as doing
so may cause a fire or electric shock.
œDo not use the battery charger in a bathroom.
œIf the battery charger gets wet, immediately unplug it from
the power outlet and remove the batteries. Then contact the
place of purchase. If used while wet, it may cause a fire,
electric shock, or an accident.
BCautions when plugging in the battery charger
œSecurely plug the power cord all the way into the power
outlet when using the battery charger. If the battery charger
is used with the power cord not fully plugged in, heat may
be generated and cause a fire.
œIf the power cord is damaged, or cannot be correctly
plugged into the power outlet, do not use the battery
charger. Using the battery charger in this condition may
cause a fire or electric shock.
œDo 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.
BDo not pull on the power cord to unplug it
œWhen unplugging the power cord, be sure to hold the
power plug 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.
œDo not leave the power cord plugged into the power outlet
while the other end is not plugged into the battery charger.
The loose end can cause electrocution if touched with wet
hands or if handled by children.
œUse only the power cord supplied with the battery charger.
If a different power cord is used, it may be rated for a
different current load, and that may cause a fire.
œThe supplied power cord is for exclusive use with the
supplied battery charger. Do not use it with other devices,
as doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.
