Note the following when using the charger and
rechargeable batteries:
● Keep the charger terminals clean by wiping them
with a dry cloth. Be sure to disconnect the battery
charger from the power outlet before cleaning.
● Batteries that have not been used for a long time do
not charge well. However, with regular use, the
batteries will return to normal.
● If the batteries are not fully discharged before
recharging them, your Digital Still Camera’s
operating time may decrease temporarily. If this
happens, discharge the batteries completely and
then charge them.
● Rechargeable batteries wear out with repeated use.
As their capacity to hold a charge decreases, your
Digital Still Camera’s operating time becomes
shorter. When the operating time gets too short, you
need to replace the batteries.
● If the batteries are charged in a hot environment, or
if they are charged repeatedly without being
discharged, they will wear out more quickly.
