Using Batteries Safely and Efficiently

When your batteries need to be replaced, the EPSON
PhotoPC 650 camera can accept four AA batteries of the
following types:
Rechargeable NiMH batteries (recommended)
Rechargeable NiCad batteries
Single-use alkaline batteries
Single-use lithium batteries (longer life)
WARNING
To avoid the danger of fire or explosion, do not mix different types
of batteries. Do not allow the battery contacts to touch metal
objects such as coins or keys, which could short out the battery's
circuits. Read all safety and handling instructions before using
batteries.
EPSON offers an optional NiMH Power Pak that includes a
charger and rechargeable batteries for convenient battery
replacement whenever you need them.
TIP
When you're transferring pictures to your computer with the
serial cable, you'll use more battery power, so it's best to power
the camera with the optional AC adapter.
To save battery power, use the camera's View mode sparingly.
You can still view pictures before saving them with the Quick
Review feature.
Note the following as you use batteries:
Don't use manganese batteries.
Replace all four batteries at the same time; don't mix old
and new batteries.
Don't drop, puncture, disassemble, or mutilate batteries.
Don't get them wet or expose them to fire.
When the camera isn't used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature in
a dry location. Store away from the reach of children.
To avoid fire or electric shock, don't use batteries that are
leaking or damaged in any way.
If battery acid gets in your eyes or on your skin,
immediately rinse the area with water and seek medical
treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment
immediately.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions and in compliance with all applicable laws.
Contact your local government agency for information
about battery recycling and disposal.
Battery life varies depending on the battery type, the
manufacturer, and other factors.
Avoid using your camera in low temperatures, especially
below 50 °F (10 °C); this drains your batteries faster.
Formatting the USB CompactFlash
Card

pictures. After that, you only need to format the card if a

or if you want to quickly erase all the pictures it contains.
Make sure you installed the USB CompactFlash card in the
camera (as described on page 4), and set the camera's date and
time, then follow these steps:
