140 Appendix
Charge Indicator
All batteries you place in the charger should
be at approximately the same charge state,
and should have been purchased at the same
time. Do not mix batteries with different
purchase dates or different charge states.
Do not attempt to recharge fully charged
batteries, as doing so may reduce or impair
battery performance. Also, do not charge
batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
Do not recharge batteries in enclosed areas
that tend to retain heat.
Repeatedly recharging batteries before they
become fully depleted may cause batteries to
lose capacity. Do not recharge the batteries
until the LCD monitor displays the "Change
the batteries" message.
Wipe the battery terminals well with a dry
cloth in the following situations, as the
terminals may be soiled with oil from one's
skin or other dirt:
- if the battery usage time has considerably
diminished
- If the number of recordable images has
considerably diminished
