Battery Handling Precautions - Olympus E-330 Manual Del Usuario

Safety precautions
Do not use the camera with wet hands.
Damage or electric shock may result. Also, do not connect or disconnect
the power plug with wet hands.
Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera.
It could easily catch on stray objects — and cause serious damage.
Do not leave the camera in areas subject to extremely high
temperature.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause
the camera to catch fire.
When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a
low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
• When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in
this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera's
body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves
when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
Do not damage the power cable.
En
Do not pull on the charger's cable or add another cable to it. Be sure to
connect or disconnect the charger's cable while holding the power plug. If
the following cases occur, stop using and contact an Olympus dealer or
authorized customer support center.
• The power plug or cable produces heat, burning smell, or smoke.
• The power plug or cable is cracked or broken. The contact is bad on the power plug.

Battery handling precautions

Follow these important guidelines to prevent the battery from leaking,
overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.
DANGER
Never heat or incinerate the battery.
Do not connect the (+) and (-) terminals to each other using metal
objects.
Do not carry or store the battery where it may come into contact with
metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
Never store the battery where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, or
subjected to high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source,
etc.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery or modify it in any way, such
as by soldering.
Doing so may break the terminals or cause battery fluid to splash, resulting
in potential fire, explosion, battery leakage, overheating or other damage.
If battery fluid gets in your eyes, loss of eyesight may result.
If battery fluid gets in your eyes, do not rub them. Flush them immediately
with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention straight away.
