Nikon D90 Manuals page 20

No doubt you're eager to start taking pictures with your new D90. Don't want to read
the whole book just to start taking pictures? Then this is the section for you! You'll learn
the basics of your camera and how to start taking good pictures. It covers everything
from charging the battery and inserting the memory card to composing and reviewing
images.
If you're already familiar with SLR cameras and would like to starting learning in detail
about the various options and controls of the D90, you may prefer to skip this intro-
ductory section and start with Part I.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
To use the charger attach the charger cord to the
charger and plug in the cord. The battery fits into the
recessed area on top of the charger. Orient the bat-
tery so that the end with the triangle (next to the word
" Nikon") points toward the "Nikon QUICK CHARGER "
label on the charger. Set the battery in the recessed
area near the top then give it a good push to slide it
into the connectors. The battery will click into place
and begin charging. An orange light on the top of
the charger will start blinking continuously. When the
charge is complete the light will stay solid orange. It'll
take a bit over two hours to fully charge the battery.
