Using the Batteries
Your PhotoPC 3000Z comes with four Ni-MH rechargeable
batteries (Model EU-24) and the Ni-MH Battery Charger
(Model EU-38). While you can use four AA (IEC LR6)
alkaline batteries (not included), the rechargeable batteries
help you save time and money that you might otherwise
spend buying replacement alkaline batteries. Be sure to
charge your new rechargeable batteries before installing
them in the camera.
c
Caution:
Do not use manganese batteries (IEC R6).
Keep the following points in mind when using these
batteries.
❏
To fully charge new batteries or batteries that have not
been used for a long time, you may have to charge them
two or three times.
❏
Use the batteries regularly so that they continue to
charge well. Batteries which have not been used for a
long time will not charge well, but will return to normal
with regular use.
❏
Discharge batteries completely before recharging
them. If your batteries are not completely drained of
power, you may not be able to recharge them fully.
❏
Batteries that are charged in a hot environment wear
out more quickly.
❏
Do not leave batteries in the camera or charger for a
long time without using them. See “Storing the
batteries” on page 1-10 for storage instructions.
❏
Rechargeable batteries wear out with repeated use; as
their charging capacity decreases, your camera’s
operating time decreases. Replace the batteries when
their operation time becomes short.
