Operating Precautions

Before you use the battery pack for the first time, charge it fully.

Full Charging Time: Approx. 90 minutes

(Based on Canon’s standard testing method with the Compact Power Adapter CA-PS100E. )

➤Charge times will vary with ambient tempera- tures and battery charge states.

➤To prolong the life of the battery pack and prevent deterioration of performance, do not charge for more than 24 hours at a time.

•Recharging before the battery pack is fully discharged may diminish the capacity of the battery. If this should occur, you may restore it by fully charging and discharging it.

•The capacity of battery packs left unused for long periods (more than 1 year) will be shorter than normal immediately after use is resumed.

The capacity can be restored by fully charging and discharging the battery pack several times.

•Replace a battery pack if it repeatedly fails to record the rated number of images after being charged the specified length of time.
