Using Batteries - Epson PhotoPC 3000Z Manual

Using Batteries

Your EPSON PhotoPC 3000Z comes with a charger (Model
EU-38) and four rechargeable NiMH batteries (Model
EU-24) that can be recharged hundreds of times.
Note
New batteries need to be fully charged three times before you use
them. This process takes approximately five or six hours—but you
only need to do it once to condition the batteries. The next time you
recharge your batteries, it takes approximately two and a half hours.
Charging Batteries
It's important to fully charge your batteries, so they will last as
long as possible before they need recharging.
WARNING
Shock hazard. Make sure you use the charger only with EPSON
rechargeable NiMH batteries (Model EU-24). To avoid the danger of
leakage or explosion, do not place any other batteries in the charger.
Read all safety and handling instructions on page 6 before using the
charger.
Follow these steps to charge your batteries for the first time:
1. Insert all four batteries, positioning the + and – ends as
shown.
2. Connect the battery charger to its power cord, as shown.
3. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The charger light
turns red, indicating that the charger is working. When the
batteries are charged, after about two and a half hours, the
light goes off.

Note
The charger light flashes to indicate changes in battery
temperature and voltage. If the light continues to flash for more
than half an hour, the batteries may be damaged or worn out, and
should be replaced. Unplug the charger if the batteries are not
fully charged after four hours.
4. Now charge your batteries again by unplugging the battery
power cord and then plugging it in again. The second
charge should take about two and a half hours.
5. Charge the batteries a third time. After the charger light
goes off, unplug the charger. To avoid overcharging, don't
leave the charger plugged in for long periods of time after
the light goes off.
6. Wait one hour until the batteries cool before removing
them from the charger.
7. Before storing the charger, disconnect the power cord and
remove the batteries.
(For subsequent charges of your NiMH rechargeable batteries,
follow steps 1 through 3, then unplug the charger and follow
steps 6 and 7 above.)
Be sure to charge the batteries completely to make them last as
long as possible. They can be recharged hundreds of times, so
do not dispose of them until they are worn out.
Note
Keep the charger terminals clean by wiping them with a dry cloth.
Make sure you charge the batteries before you use them. If you find
that your batteries run out faster after you recharge them a few
times, make sure you discharge them completely before recharging.
If this doesn't help, replace the batteries.
Installing Batteries
Your camera includes a battery charger and a set of new,
uncharged batteries. See the section above for battery charging
instructions, then follow these steps to install the charged
batteries:
