GETTING READY
IMPORTANT!
• If the battery or rapid charger is very hot or cold when
you start charging or if it becomes hot during charging,
the rapid charger will enter a standby state, which is
indicated when its [CHARGE] lamp is lit amber.
Charging will resume when the temperature returns to
the allowable charging temperature range, which is
indicated when the [CHARGE] lamp turns red.
• Charging the battery while it is still warm immediately
after removing it from the camera can result in only
partial charging. Give the battery time to cool before
charging it.
• Battery discharges slightly even when it is left
without loading it into the camera. Because of this, it
is recommended that you charge the battery
immediately before you need to use it.
• The battery used with this camera is specifically
designed for use with digital cameras. If you want to
try to use it to power another type of device, you
should first check the user documentation that
comes with the device to see if the battery is
compatible.
• Though the actual service life of the battery depends
on the environment under which it is used, you can
expect to be able to recharge it about 500 times
before it needs replacement.
• Charging the battery may cause interference with TV
and radio reception. If this happens, plug the charger
into an outlet that is further away from the TV or
radio.
• Dirty charger contacts and/or battery terminals can
make proper charging impossible. Be sure to wipe
contacts and terminals occasionally with a dry cloth
to keep them clean.
