◗Replace all three batteries at the same time.
◗If you use rechargeable NiCd batteries, replace them with three fully charged batteries. If you find that your batteries run out faster after you recharge them a number of times, make sure you discharge them completely before recharging.
◗If the rechargeable batteries are charged in a hot environment, or if they are charged repeatedly without being fully discharged, they will wear out more quickly.
◗Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, or mutilate batteries. Do not get them wet or expose them to fire.
◗When the camera is not used for long periods of time, remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature in a dry location. Store away from the reach of children.
◗To avoid fire or electric shock, do not use batteries that are leaking or damaged in any way.
◗If battery acid gets in your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse the area with water and seek medical treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.
◗Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with all applicable laws. Contact your local government agency for information about battery recycling and disposal.
◗Battery life varies depending on the battery type and the manufacturer.
Using the Optional AC Adapter
To save battery power, you can use the optional AC adapter. This is especially useful when you are transferring pictures and operating the camera from your computer (see Chapter 3).
The AC adapter allows you to connect your PhotoPC 550 to any standard 110/120V electrical outlet. The adapter powers the camera but does not charge the batteries.
The AC adapter (product code B867038) should be available where you bought your PhotoPC 550. You can also order it from EPSON Accessories at (800)
