IMPORTANT!

Performing the battery refresh operation reduces the battery charge level to almost zero. Never load refreshed batteries into the camera without charging them first. Though you may be able to momentarily turn on the camera while refreshed uncharged batteries are loaded, power may suddenly fail, leaving the lens extended, or some other misoperation may occur.

You do not need to perform the above operation each time you charge the batteries. Only use it if you notice that you are getting less operation between charges. Note that you may eventually reach the point when even the above operation will not refresh batteries. If this happens, it means that the rechargeable batteries have reached the end of their service life and that you will need to purchase new rechargeable batteries.

The above notes are all based on use of a recommended type of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.

Using Household Power

1.Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor.
