Appendixes 104
Camera maintenance
• If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully
charged, the status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.
• Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly.
Charge the battery until the red status lamp turns off.
• If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove
the battery and insert it again.
• If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or
the temperature is too high, the status lamp may blink in red.
Charging will start when the battery cools down.
• Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is
finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
• Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so
may damage the cable.
Notes about charging with a computer connected
• Use only the provided USB cable.
• The battery may not charge when:
- you use a USB hub
- other USB devices are connected to your computer
- you connect the cable to the port on the front side of your
computer
- the USB port of your computer does not support the power output
standard (5V, 500mA)
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when you dispose of used batteries.
• Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices,
such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may
explode when they are overheated.
