Appendix

Camera care
Exterior Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well. Monitor Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Lens Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then wipe gently with a lens cleaner. Battery/USB-AC adapter Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated cloth. Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
Battery, USB-AC adapter (included), Charger (sold separately)
This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery (LI-42B/LI-40B). No other type of batteries can be used.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type. Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. (p. 63)

Storage

When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery, AC adapter and card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated. Periodically insert the battery and test the camera functions.
Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are handled since this may result in corrosion.
Power consumption by the camera varies depending on which functions are used. During the conditions described below, power is consumed continuously and the battery becomes exhausted quickly. The zoom is used repeatedly. The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in shooting mode, activating the auto focus. A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended period of time. The camera is connected to a printer. Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off without displaying the battery level warning. The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Before using the camera, charge it by connecting it to a computer, or charge it using the included USB-AC adapter (F-2AC), a separately sold AC adapter (F-1AC/D-7AC) or charger (LI41C/LI-40C). When the included USB-AC adapter (F-2AC) is used, charging usually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage). The included USB-AC adapter (F-2AC) has been designed to be used for charging and playback. Make sure that shooting is not being used while the USB-AC adapter is connected to the camera. The included USB-AC adapter (F-2AC) is designed to be used only with this camera. Other cameras cannot be charged with this USB-AC adapter.

Handling the Camera

WARNING
Do not use the camera near ammable or explosive gases. Do not use the ash and LED on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range. You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the ash too close to the subjects eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision. Keep young children and infants away from the camera. Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury: Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation. Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts. Accidentally ring the ash into their own eyes or those of another child. Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera. Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera. Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places. Do not cover the ash with a hand while ring. Use SD/SDHC memory cards only. Never use other types of cards. If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the card by force.

DANGER

WARNING! TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, NEVER DISASSEMBLE, EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO WATER OR OPERATE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENT.

General Precautions

Read All Instructions Before you use the product, read all operating instructions. Save all manuals and documentation for future reference. Cleaning Always unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaner, or any type of organic solvent to clean this product. Attachments For your safety, and to avoid damaging the product, use only accessories recommended by Olympus. Water and Moisture For precautions on products with weatherproof designs, read the weatherproong sections. Location To avoid damage to the product, mount the product securely on a stable tripod, stand, or bracket. Power Source Connect this product only to the power source described on the product label. Lightning If a lightning storm occurs while using an AC adapter, remove it from the wall outlet immediately. Foreign Objects To avoid personal injury, never insert a metal object into the product. Heat Never use or store this product near any heat source such as a radiator, heat register, stove, or any type of equipment or appliance that generates heat, including stereo ampliers.
Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it. Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a re or burn your hands. Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures. Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch re. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in re.

Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn. 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 cameras body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures. Be careful with the strap. Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.
Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken. If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera. If a battery leaks uid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and ush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the uid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately. Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.
Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks, discoloration, warping, or any other abnormality. The battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do not remove it immediately after using the camera. Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
Battery Handling Precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.
Caution for Usage Environment
To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in use or storage: Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidiers. In sandy or dusty environments. Near ammable items or explosives. In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using products with weatherproof designs, read their manuals as well. In places prone to strong vibrations. Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations. When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the camera. Do not touch electric contacts on cameras. Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause res. Do not push or pull severely on the lens. Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the batteries. Select a cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on and pressing the shutter button to make sure that it is operating normally. Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the cameras manual.
