Concerning the Lithium-ion battery pack (Model DB-L10)
This camera uses a Lithium-ion battery pack (Model DB-L10).
Batterij niet weggooien, maar inleveren als KCA.
B If there is leaking, discoloration, change of shape, rise in temperature, damaged exterior, strange odor or any other abnormal condition, immediately discontinue use and remove the battery pack from the camera, taking care to keep it well away from fire.
Continued use of the battery pack under any of these conditions may result in fire, injury, explosion or other serious damage. If battery fluid is leaking, placing the battery pack in close proximity to a fire or other heat source may ignite the battery fluid and result in fire, damage, eruption of battery fluid, or smoke fumes.

B Do not transform, take apart, or modify.
Safety mechanisms and protective devices have been in incorporation in the battery pack for the purpose of preventing danger. Any modification, by transforming, disassembling, or directly soldering to it, etc., will defeat these safety devices and possibly cause the battery pack to catch fire, explode, or leak or spew battery fluid.
B Do not connect the (+) and () terminals with a wire or other metal implement. Do not carry loose or keep with necklaces, hairpins, etc.
Doing so may result in a short circuit, high voltage flow, fire, explosion, leaking or spewing battery fluid, or heat generation. Metal such as a wire or necklace, etc. may cause heat to be generated.
B Do not throw the battery pack in the fire or subject it to heat
Doing so may cause the insulation to melt, damage the gas discharge valve and safety mechanisms, or ignite the battery fluid, resulting in fire or explosion.
