GETTING READY

•The [CHARGE] lamp on the USB cradle should turn red, indicating that charging has started. When charging is complete, the [CHARGE] lamp will turn green.

•It takes about 180 minutes to achieve a full charge. Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

4.After charging is complete, remove the camera from the USB cradle.

IMPORTANT!

•Use only the USB cradle (CA-29) that comes with the camera or the optionally available charger (BC-30L) to charge the special NP-40 rechargeable lithium ion battery. Never use any other charging device.

•Use only the bundled AC adaptor. Never use any other type of AC adaptor. Do not use optionally available AD-C30, AD-C40, AD-C620 and AD-C630 AC adaptors with this camera.

•Make sure that the camera connector of the USB cradle is securely inserted into the camera’s connector 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 operation. If this happens, simply wait until the battery reaches normal temperature. The [CHARGE] lamp will turn red and charging will start when the battery temperature returns to the allowable charging temperature range.
