When using this product to recharge the BN-1 battery pack, always power the AC adapter with the supply  
voltage specified in this instruction manual.  
Do not use this product near heat-generating equipment. This could damage the external finish or melt the  
coating and result in fire, overheating, explosion, fluid leak or electric shock.  
Always insert the plug of the AC adapter fully into the power outlet. Do not use it while the plug is inserted only  
halfway.  
WARNING  
Do not touch this product or the battery for too long when it is charging. This could result in low-temperature  
burns to your skin.  
Do not use the power supply, power cord or battery if is damaged. To avoid electric shock or injury, do not  
touch any exposed internal parts. If the product is damaged, unplug the power cord and do not use it. For  
repair, contact Olympus.  
If you notice any abnormalities such as leakage, discoloration, deformation, overheating, or odor, immediately  
unplug the power cord and stop using the equipment. Continued use may result in fire hazard, fire ignition,  
overheating and/or explosion. For repair, contact Olympus.  
To avoid fire, overheating, explosion or leakage, do not subject the battery to excessive shock, throw it, or  
otherwise damage it.  
Never put the battery in a microwave oven or high-pressure container. This could cause a fire, leakage, over-  
heating, or an explosion.  
Always keep the battery out of reach of children. Children should only be permitted to use the battery under  
strict adult supervision. If children are not supervised,. There is a risk of electric shock, injury or swallowing.  
If the battery leaks or emits a burning odor, keep it away from heat sources. Leaked fluid may catch fire,  
causing the battery to smoke, burn, or explode.  
If the fluid from inside the battery sticks to your skin or clothes, it may cause injury. Wash it off immediately with  
clean water and see a doctor.  
If charging does not complete in the specified charge time, stop charging to prevent fire, overheating or explo-  
sion.  
When recycling or disposing of the battery, insulate all terminals by covering them with plastic tape. Otherwise,  
the batteries could be short-circuited and cause a fire, overheating or explosion.  
To recycle a battery, take it to the nearest dealer participating in the recycling activities. For disposal, follow the  
regulations set by your local government.  
CAUTION  
If charging does not complete in the specified charge time, stop charging to prevent fire, overheating or explo-  
sion.  
Do not shake this product when a battery is attached. The battery could pop out and cause injury.  
Do not place a heavy object on this product or power cord.  
Do not place this product on an unstable surface such as a tilted or unsteady table. If the High-Voltage pack  
falls off, it may be damaged or cause injury.  
Do not store or use this product where it may be exposed to moisture, excessive dust or high temperatures.  
Remove dust from the power plug before inserting it into a power outlet.  
The battery will get hot after extended use in HV-1 High Voltage Pack. To prevent burns, do not remove the  
battery from the HV-1 immediately after use.  
Do not charge the battery in an extremely cold or hot environment. Charging the battery in temperatures  
between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F) is recommended. Using the battery in low temperatures may result  
in a decrease in battery performance.  
13  
When unplugging the power plug, hold the plug. Do not pull it by the cord. Also do not bend or pull the cord  
excessively or place a heavy object on it. Damage to the cord may result in fire ignition, overheating and/or  
electric shock.  
Unplug the power plug from the power outlet except when recharging the battery.  
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS  
Battery Handling Precautions  
At time of purchase:  
The battery discharges even when it is not used. After purchasing the battery, be sure to charge it before use. Also,  
whenever the battery has not been used for a long period, recharge it before use.  
New batteries or batteries that have not been used for a long time (more than one month) may not be fully charged. This  
is not a malfunction, but is a characteristic of the battery. Charge them two or three times before using them for the  
first time or when they have not been used for a long period.  
Check that the battery terminals are clean before use. If they are dirty, contact failure may cause problems with charging  
or shorten the batterys operation time after charging.  
Care:  
Clean the battery by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a wet cloth, alcohol, lacquer thinner, benzene or detergent.  
Operating temperatures:  
Use this battery pack within a temperature range of 10°C and +60°C (14°F and 140°F).  
Even within the specified operating temperature range, battery operation time decreases as the temperature drops.  
When the temperature is low, it is recommended to carry a spare charged battery and keep it warm in a pocket, bag, etc.  
When carrying a battery in your pocket, be sure to cap the battery to prevent short-circuiting. Do not put anything else in  
the pocket with the battery.  
Precautions for transport and storage:  
Do not leave the battery in the HV-1 High Voltage Pack. Even when the power switch is set to off, a small amount of  
current continues to flow and may lead to a decrease in battery performance. When not using the battery, attach the  
provided cap and store it in a cool, dry place with a temperature between 15°C and 25°C (39°F and 77°F).  
When transporting or storing the battery, attach the provided cap to prevent short-circuiting of the +/terminals. Do not  
put any metallic objects including personal ornaments in a bag or drawer with the battery. This could cause a fire,  
overheating, explosion or leakage.  
Service life of rechargeable battery pack:  
The performance of the battery degrades gradually after repeated charge and discharge. When the operation time  
reduces considerably, this may be the sign of replacement timing. The battery capacity is usually halved after about 500  
cycles of charging and discharging, though this value is variable depending on the operating conditions.  
Recycling the battery:  
Please recycle BN-1 batteries to help save our planets resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to  
cover their + and terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.  
Battery Charging Precautions  
Before use:  
Be sure to read the safety precautions thoroughly before use. Follow all instructions carefully.  
Operating precautions:  
The optimum ambient temperature for charging is between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F).  
The battery may get hot, for example immediately after the flash is used. The battery may not fully recharge if it is hot, so  
wait until the battery cools down before recharging it.  
The battery charger and battery get hot during charging. This is not a malfunction.  
Interference with TV or radio reception may occur during charging. This is not a malfunction. To avoid this, move the  
charger further away from the device being interfered with.  
Even within the specified operating temperature range, battery operation time decreases as the temperature drops.  
When the temperature is low, it is recommended to carry a spare charged battery and keep it warm in a pocket, bag, etc.  
When carrying a battery in your pocket, be sure to cap the battery to prevent short-circuiting. Do not put anything else in  
the pocket with the battery.  
Care:  
Clean the battery by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a wet cloth, alcohol, lacquer thinner, benzene or detergent.  
Overseas use:  
If you plan to use this product in another country, you may need to obtain a conversion plug matching the design of  
power outlets used in that country. Check with a travel agent to determine whether or not you will need a converter. Do  
not use an electronic transformer as this will cause a malfunction.

Notes  
New batteries or batteries that have not been used for a long time (more than one month) may not be fully charged. This is not  
a malfunction, but is a characteristic of the battery. Charge them two or three times before using them for the first time or when  
they have not been used for a long period.  
Once battery charging starts, it is recommended to continue charging until the battery has been fully charged, without stopping  
charging in the middle. (The remaining battery capacity cannot be indicated correctly unless the battery is charged fully.)  
Whenever possible , use the battery until it has been fully discharged.  
(Repeatedly recharging the battery before it has been fully used up may reduce the batterys service life.)  
In the following cases, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and contact Olympus;  
if recharging does not complete in 10 hours;
