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).
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
1 if you continue use under these conditions, it may cause a fire, rupturing of the battery pack, eruption of electrolyte, or smoking.
2 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.
do not disassemble or modify
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.
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
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.
do not place in a fire or expose to excessive heat
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.
do not drop or subject to strong impacts
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.
do not submerge in water or wet the terminals
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.
cautions concerning the locations of use and storage 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.
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.
ambient humidity: 45 to 85% rh
only recharge using the supplied nc-lsc04wsa ac adapter/charger
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.
only use with the specified devices
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.
