Using The Batteries - Epson PhotoPC 3000Z User Manual

Using the Batteries

Your PhotoPC 3000Z comes with four Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries (Model EU-24) and the Ni-MH
Battery Charger (Model EU-38). While you can use
four AA (IEC LR6) alkaline batteries (not included),
the rechargeable batteries help you save time and
money that you might otherwise spend buying
replacement alkaline batteries. Be sure to charge your
new rechargeable batteries before installing them in
the camera.
c
Caution:
Do not use manganese batteries (IEC R6).
Keep the following points in mind when using these
batteries.
To fully charge new batteries or batteries that
have not been used for a long time, you may have
to charge them two or three times.
Use the batteries regularly so that they continue
to charge well. Batteries which have not been used
for a long time will not charge well, but will return
to normal with regular use.
Discharge batteries completely before recharging
them. If your batteries are not completely drained
of power, you may not be able to recharge them
fully.
Batteries that are charged in a hot environment
wear out more quickly.
Do not leave batteries in the camera or charger for
a long time without using them. See "Storing the
batteries" on page 1-10 for storage instructions.
Rechargeable batteries wear out with repeated
use; as their charging capacity decreases, your
camera's operating time decreases. Replace the
batteries when their operation time becomes
short.
