N Notes on Handling Batteries NhIt is recommended that you use same brand

of alkaline batteries as those supplied with thecamera.

hDo not use different types of batteries or oldand new batteries together.

hYou cannot use lithium, manganese or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.

hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries varybetween brands and the life of batteries youpurchase may be shorter than the alkalinebatteries provided with the camera. Note alsothat due to the nature of alkaline batteries, thetime for which they can be used is shorter in coldlocations (at temperatures of +10C (+50F) orbelow). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries arerecommended.

hSoiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals ofbatteries can greatly reduce the time for whichthe batteries provide power.

hYou will need the optional charger (P.65) torecharge Ni-MH batteries.

hSee P.68 for notes on using batteries.

INotes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MHbatteries)

h Always use the special battery charger to charge AA-sizeNi-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described in theinstructions provided with the battery charger.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries otherthan those specified for use with the charger.

h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately afterbeing charged.

h Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure tocharge the batteries before using them.

h The camera mechanism is such that it draws a minuteamount of current even when the camera is switched off.Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH batteries in thecamera for a long period of time as they can become

even when charged.h Ni-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used.

Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If thetime for which a battery provides power shortensmarkedly when it has been correctly charged, thisindicates that the battery has reached the end of itseffective life and should be replaced.

h Soiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MHbatteries can greatly reduce the number of availableshots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefullywith a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge inthe batteries and recharge them.

h Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have been

left unused for an extended period may not be fullycharged. (This is indicated by the immediate display ofthe battery low warning or a low number of availableshots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries anddoes not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and usingthe batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normalcondition.

h If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH battery before it is fullydischarged, it will suffer from the memory effect ,causing the battery low warning to appear while there isstill ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore thebatteries to their normal condition, use up all the chargein the batteries before recharging them.

Memory effect: A phenomenon affecting the batterycharacteristics such that the apparent battery capacitydecreases.

h AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) can beused with this camera.Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium batteries in yourFinePix A201 because the heat generated by thebatteries could damage the camera or causemalfunctions.

h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary betweenbrands and the life of batteries you purchase may beshorter than the alkaline batteries provided with thecamera.

g, ,discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

h Do not store batteries in very warm or moist locations.h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the

battery polarity (+and- ) is as indicated on the camera.h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. In

the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use chargedand discharged batteries together. Do not use batteriesof different types or brands together.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period oftime, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that ifthe camera is left with the batteries removed, the time

and date settings are cleared.)h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being

used. Before removing the batteries, switch the cameraoff and wait until the batteries cool down.

h When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.Here, 'new batteries' refers to either recently purchasedunused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride)batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.

h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10C/+50F or below),battery performance deteriorates and the time for which theycan be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true ofalkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in yourpocket or a similar place to warm them before loading theminto the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm thebatteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with thewarmer.

Applicable Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe theprecautions given below.h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.h Do not carry or store a battery with metal objects such as

necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact withthe metal positive+and negative- poles of the battery.

h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, andtake particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify thebatteries.

h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.
