Appendix About Lithium Ion Battery
About the Lithium Ion Battery
This digital camera uses a lithium ion battery as the power source for
the digital back. Lithium Ion batteries have the following advantages:
• Compact-Lightweight-High Energy Density
Lithium ion batteries have approximately 30% less volume, and
are 35% lighter in weight than standard nickel cadmium batteries
with the same discharge capacity.
• No Memory Effect
Lithium ion batteries can be recharged at any time, without the
need for refresh discharge circuitry, and without fear of shortened
usage time due to repeated shallow discharge cycles.
• Extremely Safe
By not using lithium metal or lithium alloys, Lithium Ion batteries
have attained a high level of safety. Even the U.S. Department of
Transportation's Dangerous Materials Division has declared
Lithium Ion Batteries exempt from dangerous materials
regulations.
• You can shoot approximately 100 pictures with the battery.
CAUTION
Please read "SAFETY CAUTIONS FOR THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY"
and "HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE NP-500H LITHIUM ION
BATTERY" in this manual for proper and safe use.
The Lithium Ion battery, like nickel cadmium batteries, is
rechargeable. The packaged battery is half charged for shipping.
When the capacity of the battery is low, it will blink in the data panel.
When this display occurs, remove and recharge the battery.
HOW TO RECHARGE THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY
1. Attach the NP-500H lithium ion battery to the AC-M515 AC
adapter/charger as shown.
If the adapter cord is connected to the AC power adapter,
disconnect it.
2. Plug the AC adapter/charger into a wall socket.
Power and charge lamp will glow.
It takes approximately two hours to obtain a full charge. Charge
time depends on the temperature and battery condition.
If the battery is left on the charger for more than four hours, the
prevent circuitry in the battery will turn the charger off.
