•The indicator flashes green when data such as images or print information is being written to the CF card. Never open the battery cover or CF card slot cover while the indicator is flashing. Opening either cover could corrupt the data being written to the CF card.

•When the battery charge weakens, the LCD panel will shut off and “Lb” will show in the display panel. You are advised to replace the battery when this shows. To warn you against attempting to remove a battery that becomes low in the midst of writing data to the CF card, a beep will sound continuously until the operation is complete. Do not open the battery cover or CF card slot cover until this beeping has stopped. Wait for the write operation and beeping to cease before removing the battery.
