190 HP Photosmart R717 User’s Manual
When the HP AC adapter is used to charge the battery and
the camera is off, the Power/Memory light on the back of the
camera will blink during charging. When the dock is used,
the dock light will blink. When the quick recharger is used,
the light on the quick recharger will be yellow to indicate
recharging.
If you will not be using your camera immediately after
charging the battery, we recommend that you leave the
camera in the dock or plugged in to the HP AC adapter. The
camera will top off the battery periodically to ensure that the
camera is always ready for use.
Some things to keep in mind when using a Lithium Ion
battery are as follows:
• The first time that you use a new Lithium Ion battery, be
sure that you fully charge it before using it in the camera.
• A Lithium Ion battery discharges when not in use, whether
it is installed in a camera or not. If a Lithium Ion battery
has not been used for more than two months, recharge it
before using it again. Even if you are not using your
battery, it is a good idea to charge it every six months to
a year to prolong its useful life.
