GETTING READY
IMPORTANT!
• If the [CHARGE] lamp starts to flash when you start
a charge operation, it means that charging cannot be
started yet because the surrounding temperature or
the temperature of the charger unit is outside the
range of about 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Charging will start automatically (indicated when the
[CHARGE] lamp stops flashing and remains lit) as
soon as temperature returns to normal.
• Charging batteries while they are still warm
immediately after removing them from the camera
can result in only partial charging. Give batteries time
to cool before charging them.
• Batteries discharge slightly even when they are left
without loading them into the camera. Because of
this, it is recommended that you charge batteries
immediately before you need to use them.
• The rechargeable batteries used with this camera
are specifically designed for use with digital
cameras. If you want to try to use them to power
another type of device, you should first check the
user documentation that comes with the device to
see if they are compatible.
• Though the actual service life of the rechargeable
batteries depends on the environment under which
they are used, you can expect to be able to recharge
them about 500 times before they need replacement.
• Charging the camera's batteries may cause
interference with TV and radio reception. If this
happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is
further away from the TV or radio.
• Dirty charger contacts and/or battery terminals can
make proper charging impossible. Be sure to wipe
contacts and terminals occasionally with a dry cloth
to keep them clean.
NOTE
• The bundled charger unit is designed for operation
with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V
AC. Note, however, that the shape of the AC power
cord plug varies according to country or geographic
area. If you plan to use the charger unit in a
geographic area where the power receptacle shape
is different from that in your area, replace the AC
power cord with one of the other ones that comes
with the camera, or purchase a commercially
available AC power cord that is compatible with the
power outlets in that area.
