Camera Setup
• The battery pack requires approxi-
mately 90 minutes to charge fully from
a completely discharged state (as
charged with Compact Power Adapter
CA-PS100/100E according to standard
Canon testing conditions).
• Charging times will vary with the
ambient temperature and charge state
of the battery pack.
• To protect and prolong the battery pack
life, do not charge it longer than 24
hours at a time.
• Do not charge the battery pack in
poorly ventilated areas.
• Remove the power cord from the outlet
when charging is complete or the
compact power adapter is not in use.
• Do not charge batteries other than
Battery Pack NB-5H with the compact
power adapter.
• The battery pack continues to discharge
a minute amount while it is left in the
camera, even if the camera is not used.
Since continual discharge will shorten
the life of the battery pack, you should
remove it from the camera when it is
not in use and store it in the supplied
case in a cool dry place. Remember to
charge it fully before using it again.
• The battery pack capacity may diminish
if it is repeatedly charged without first
being fully discharged. It can be
restored by fully charging and discharg-
ing it several times.
• The service life of a battery pack has
expired if its capacity to hold a charge
diminishes severely despite several cycles
of full charging and discharging. Replace
the battery pack with a new one.
