When using the camera for the first time or after a long period of non-
use, or when the [Battery depleted] message appears, charge the
battery as described below.
1
Connect the AC plug cord D-CO24 to the USB cradle.
2
Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.
3
Place the camera on the USB cradle.
Make sure that the connector on the bottom of the LCD monitor section
of the camera is inserted into the connector terminal on the USB cradle.
The charging indicator on the USB cradle lights red during charging.
The charging indicator turns off when charging is finished.
Charging the Battery
• The time required for full charge is about 110 minutes maximum.
The appropriate ambient temperature range for charging the
battery is 0°C to 40°C. (The charging time may vary depending on
the ambient temperature and charging conditions.)
• The battery has reached the end of its service life when it starts to
run down soon after being charged. Replace with a new battery.
• Do not charge the camera other than Optio X with the
rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-L18 inserted using the USB
cradle because the cradle may overheat or be damaged.
• If the camera is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails
to light, the fault may lie with the USB cradle, the camera or the
battery. Replace the battery with a new battery or contact your
nearest PENTAX customer service center.
