recharger
If you will not be using your camera immediately after
charging the batteries, we recommend that you leave the
camera in the dock or plugged in to the HP AC power
adapter. The camera will top off the batteries periodically to
ensure that the camera is always ready for use.
Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are
as follows:
• The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be
sure that you fully charge them before using them in
the camera.
• You may notice that the first several times you use NiMH
batteries, the battery life seems shorter than what you
expect. Performance will improve and become optimal
after the batteries have been charged and then
discharged (used) completely four or five times. You can
use the camera normally to discharge the batteries during
this conditioning period.
• Always recharge both NiMH batteries at the same time.
One low-charged battery will reduce the battery life for
the other battery in the camera.
