    For Your Safety
    Observe caution when 
    handling batteries
    Batteries may leak or explode if 
    improperly handled. Observe the 
    following precautions when handling 
    batteries for use in this product:
    •Before replacing the batteries, turn 
    the product off. If you are using an 
    AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.
    •Use only the batteries approved for 
    use in this product (A14). Do not 
    combine old and new batteries or 
    batteries of different makes or types.
    •If Nikon rechargeable Ni-MH batteries 
    EN-MH2 (EN-MH2-B2 or EN-MH2-B4) 
    are purchased separately, charge and 
    use each of them as a set. Do not 
    combine batteries from different pairs.
    •The EN-MH2 rechargeable batteries 
    are for use with Nikon digital cameras 
    only, and are compatible with 
    COOLPIX L22/L21.
    Do not use EN-MH2 rechargeable 
    batteries with incompatible devices.
    •
    Insert batteries in the correct orientation.
    •Do not short or disassemble batteries 
    or attempt to remove or break 
    battery insulation or casing.
    •Do not expose batteries to flame or 
    to excessive heat.
    •
    Do not immerse in or expose to water.
    •Do not transport or store with metal 
    objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
    •Batteries are prone to leakage when 
    fully discharged. To avoid damage to 
    the product, be sure to remove the 
    batteries when no charge remains.
    •Discontinue use immediately should 
    you notice any change in the 
    batteries, such as discoloration or 
    deformation.
    •
    If liquid from damaged batteries comes 
    in contact with clothing or skin, rinse 
    immediately with plenty of water.
    Observe the following 
    precautions when handling the 
    Battery Chargers (available 
    separately)
    •Keep Dry. Failure to observe this 
    precaution could result in fire or 
    electric shock.
    •Dust on or near the metal parts of the 
    plug should be removed with a dry 
    cloth. Continued use could result in 
    fire.
    •Do not handle the power cable or go 
    near the battery charger during 
    lightning storms. Failure to observe 
    this precaution could result in 
    electric shock.
    •Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug 
    or bend the power cable, place it 
    under heavy objects, or expose it to 
    heat or flame. Should the insulation 
    be damaged and the wires become 
    exposed, take it to a Nikon-
    authorized service representative for 
    inspection. Failure to observe these 
    precautions could result in fire or 
    electric shock.

    charger with wet hands. Failure to 
    observe this precaution could result

    adapters designed to convert from one 
    voltage to another or with DC-to-AC 
    inverters. Failure to observe this 
    precaution could damage the product 
    or result in overheating or fire.

    and output jacks, use only the cables 
    provided or sold by Nikon for the 
    purpose, to maintain compliance with 
    product regulations.

    be taken to avoid injury caused by 
    broken glass and to prevent liquid 
    crystal from the monitor touching the 
    skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
