Hazards through the use of batteries Remove the batteries from the video camera if it is not used for an extended period of time. Do not immediately remove the batteries after using the video camera for an extended period of time. The batteries often become hot during use. There is danger of explosion if the batteries are replaced improperly or if the wrong type of battery is inserted. Therefore, only use batteries of the type LR03, 1.5 V (AAA) or NiMH batteries with the same specification. Never expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire, etc. This is a fire or explosion hazard. Do not store the batteries near fire, stoves or other sources of heat.
