GETTING READY

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 mis- operation 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 procedure and notes are all based upon use of SANYO Electric Co., Ltd, type HR-3UA, HR- 3UB, or HR-3UF rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries.

Using AC Power

You need to purchase the optionally available AC adaptor (AD-C30) in order to be able to power the camera using AC power.

1.Connect the AC power cord to the AC adaptor.

2.Open the camera’s terminal panel cover and connect the AC adaptor to the port marked [DC IN 3V].
