• Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through internal chemi-
cal reactions. These reactions are also influenced by the external tem-
perature and humidity. To ensure a maximum service life of the battery,
it should not be exposed to constant extremes (high or low) of tempera-
ture (e.g. in a parked car in the summer or winter).
• Even when used under optimum conditions, every battery has a limited
service life! After several hundred charging cycles, this becomes notice-
able as the operating times get significantly shorter.
• Defective batteries should be disposed of according to the respective in-
structions (see p. 71) at a collection point to ensure proper recycling.
• The replaceable battery provides power to a back-up battery that is per-
manently fitted in the camera. This back-up battery retains the set date
and time for up to 3 days. If this back-up battery becomes discharged it
must be recharged by inserting a charged, main battery. Once the re-
placeable battery has been inserted, the full capacity of the back-up bat-
tery is recovered after about 60 hours. This process does not require
the camera to be turned on. However, you will have to set the date and
time again in this situation.
• Remove the battery if you will not be using the camera for a long period
of time. When doing so, turn the camera off using the main switch first
(see p. 88). Otherwise, after several weeks the battery could become to-
tally discharged, i.e. the voltage is sharply reduced as the camera still
consumes a small amount of current (for saving your settings) even
when it is turned off.
Preparing the charger (A)
The charger must be equipped with the right plug (1.38) for the local
power outlets.
To attach the plug,
The appropriate plug type is pushed onto the charger until it clicks into
place.
To remove a plug, simultaneously
a. press the locking button (1.39) and
b. pull the attached plug off upwards from its normal position.
Note:
The charger automatically switches to the prevailing mains voltage.
