Precautions  
USE & LOCATION  
TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your Digital Camera and power supply should not be exposed to  
rain or moisture. Do not connect the power supply or operate your Digital Camera if it gets wet. Your  
Digital Camera has been designed for outdoor use, however it is not designed to sustain direct  
exposure to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even a cup of  
coffee. This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your Digital Camera. Do not  
attempt to disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Unplug your Digital  
Camera from the power supply and have it serviced.  
DO NOT AIM YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA AT THE SUN OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS.  
DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA TO EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as,  
in direct sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This action could permanently damage  
the internal parts of your Digital Camera.  
AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place  
to a warm place, moisture may form inside the unit.  
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA OR THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT  
IN USE.  
STORAGE OF YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA ... Store and handle your Digital Camera in a manner that  
will not subject it to unnecessary movement (avoid shaking and striking). Your Digital Camera  
contains a sensitive pick-up device which could be damaged by improper handling or storage.  
CARE  
TO CLEAN YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA ... Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning  
your Digital Camera body.  
TO PROTECT THE LENS ... Do not touch the surface of the lens with your hand. Use a commercial  
Digital Camera lens solution and lens paper when cleaning the lens. Improper cleaning can scratch

Battery Pack Notes  
Caution:  
To avoid damage to the Battery Pack:  
• Do not drop or jar the Battery Pack.  
• Use the Battery Pack with specified units  
only.  
• Charge only with specified charger.  
• The Battery can be charged within a  
temperature range of 32° F (0° C) and  
104° F (40° C).  
• The Battery Pack may be warm after  
charging or just after use. This is normal.  
• Do not use an insufficiently charged or  
worn out Battery Pack.  
To insure longer Battery Pack life:  
• While not in use, remove the Battery Pack  
from the Digital Camera and store in a  
dark, cool, dry place.  
• Keep the Battery Pack terminals clean.  
Safety precautions:  
• Do not get the Battery Pack or AA alkaline  
batteries near, or dispose of in fire.  
• Do not directly connect (short circuit) the  
positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.  
• Never attempt to disassemble or reas-  
semble the Battery Pack.  
U.S.A. CONSUMERS:  
ATTENTION:  
The product you have purchased is powered by a nickel cadmium battery

• The useful operation time of the Battery  
will gradually decrease after repeated use  
and recharging. The Battery is no longer  
serviceable if the operation time is very  
short, even after a sufficient charge.  
• Instead of the supplied Battery Pack, you  
can also use AA type Ni-Cd (high density  
type) or nickel-hydride batteries available  
on the market.

Station until it locks with a click.

outlet.  
The POWER Lamp lights up.  
• For emergency use you can install 2  
Panasonic alkaline batteries. But, due to  
power consumption and shorter operation  
life of alkaline batteries compared to the  
supplied rechargeable battery pack, it is  
strongly recommended that only the  
Optical Viewfinder (turn off the LCD  
Viewfinder) be used to capture images  
when using alkaline batteries.  
• If you are not going to use the Digital  
Camera for an extended period of time,  
remove the Battery Pack from the Digital  
Camera.

CAUTION  
5
Slide the RELEASE switch to release  
the Digital Camera from the Digital  
Camera Station.  
Discharge the remaining voltage of the  
Battery Pack completely before charging.

the operation time due to characteristics  
of the battery.  
• With a fully charged Battery Pack, you will  
have a maximum of about 50 minutes* of  
continuous playback(77°F/25°C).  
Do not remove the Digital Camera while  
charging is in progress.  
* When playback 1 image every 60 seconds.
