Using Batteries

Your EPSON PhotoPC 850Z 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 5 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.
