• The indicator flashes green when data
such as images or print information is
being written to the CF card. Never open
the battery cover or CF card slot cover
while the indicator is flashing. Opening
either cover could corrupt the data
being written to the CF card.
• When the battery charge weakens, the
LCD panel will shut off and "Lb" will
show in the display panel. You are
advised to replace the battery when this
shows. To warn you against attempting
to remove a battery that becomes low in
the midst of writing data to the CF card,
a beep will sound continuously until the
operation is complete. Do not open the
battery cover or CF card slot cover until
this beeping has stopped. Wait for the
write operation and beeping to cease
before removing the battery.
