Using the Batteries
Your PhotoPC 750Z comes with four Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries and the Ni-MH Battery
Charger. Though you can use four AA (LR6) alkaline
batteries (not included), the rechargeable batteries
help you save time and money you might otherwise
spend buying replacement alkaline batteries. Charge
your new rechargable batteries before installing them
in the camera.
Keep the following points in mind when using these
batteries.
❏To fully charge batteries that have never been
used or haven’t been used for a long time, you
may have to charge them two or three times.
❏Use batteries regularly so they continue to charge
well. Batteries which have not been used for a
long time will return to normal with regular use.
❏Discharge batteries completely before recharging
them. If your batteries are not completely drained
of power, you may not be able to recharge them
fully.
❏Replace rechargable batteries when battery
power runs out soon after recharging.
Rechargeable batteries wear out with repeated
use. As their charging capacity decreases, your
camera’s operating time becomes shorter.

Charging the batteries

The Ni-MH Battery Charger charges your Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries quickly to last longer in your
camera.
Before charging your batteries, be sure to read the
safety instructions in “When using the charger and
batteries” on page4.
Follow these steps to charge your Ni-MH batteries.
1. If your battery charger has a cover, open the cover.
