Read Battery Warnings
Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
Before Inserting the Battery
Remove the lens cap before inserting the battery for the first time or when
inserting the battery after the camera has been left unused for an extended
period. If the lens cap is in place, a message will be displayed in the monitor,
even if the camera is off. The camera will however function normally when
the lens cap is removed and the camera turned on.
The Clock Battery
The camera's internal clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable power
source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is installed or the
camera connected to AC power source using the EH-21 AC adapter (available
separately). If the camera has been stored for an extended period with the main
battery removed, the clock may need to be reset. After charging for about ten
hours, the clock's power source can provide roughly three days of back up power.
Removing the Battery
The battery can be removed without affecting pictures stored on the memory
card. All settings other than date and language will, however, be reset.
Alternative Power Sources
Although the COOLPIX5000 can be used with non-rechargeable 2CR5 (DL245)
lithium batteries, available at a variety of retail outlets, we recommend the re-
chargeable Nikon EN-EL1 Li-ion battery included with your camera. This lithium-
ion battery, for use exclusively with COOLPIX5000, 995, 885, 775, and 880
digital cameras, can be recharged with the EH-21 AC adapter/battery charger
(available separately). In its role as an AC adapter, the EH-21 can be used to
power your camera continuously for extended playback and similar tasks. Al-
ternatively, the MB-E5000 battery pack (available separately) can be used to
power the camera for extended periods. The MB-E5000 takes six ordinary LR-6
(AA) batteries and is equipped with its own shutter release and zoom buttons
for taking photographs in portrait orientation.
