Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (Model
EU-24) with your PhotoPC 3100Z, instead of the
included four AA (IEC LR6) alkaline batteries. 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 1-8 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.
❏ When the batteries are fully charged, the light
turns off. To charge your batteries again, unplug
the AC power cord, then plug it back in.
Note:
Replace the batteries with new Ni-MH batteries if the
charger light stays on for more than 240 minutes or if the
charger light flashes for more than half an hour.
After the light goes off, unplug the charger. To avoid
overcharging, unplug the charger as soon as possible
after the light goes off.
