•Make sure that the camera connector of the USB cradle is securely inserted into the camera’s connec- tor as far as it will go.
•The CHARGE lamp may remain amber colored and the charge operation may not start right away if you try to charge immediately after using the camera (which causes battery to become warm) or when it is too hot or too cold where you are performing the charge op- eration. If this happens, simply wait until the battery reaches normal temperature. The CHARGE lamp will turn red and charging will start when the battery tem- perature returns to the allowable charging tempera- ture range.
•The CHARGE lamp flashing red indicates that an error occurred while charging. An error can be caused by any of the following: a problem with the cradle, a prob- lem with the camera, or a problem with the battery or how it is loaded. Remove the camera from the cradle and see if it works normally.
•The USB cradle can be used for charging or USB data communication only.
NOTE 
•USB cradle is designed for operation with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC. Note, how- ever, that the shape of the AC power cord plug varies according to country or geographic area. If you plan to use the cradle in another geographic area, you need to purchase a commercially available AC power cord that is compatible with the power outlets in that area.
