CAUTION

Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet when it is not in use.

If the terminals of battery are soiled, it may not be possible to charge it. Clean the battery terminals and battery charger terminals with a clean, dry cloth.

Charging times increase at low temperatures.

The NP-50 gradually loses its charge even when not used. Charge a NP-50 just before taking pictures (in the last day or two).

Notes on Using the Battery ChargerUse with the following power supply cord set:

Cord: UL Listed, Type SPT-2, No.18 AWG, rated 300V, 10A, minimum 4 ft (1.2m), maximum 10 ft (3m) long. One end terminates in a molded-on, parallel-blade, (non- polarized) attachment plug with a 7A, 125V (NEMA 1- 15P) configuration.

The battery and battery charger themselves will become warm due to the power stored inside them. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. Wherever possible, use the battery charger in a well-ventilated location.

There may be vibration noises from inside the battery charger during use. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.

The battery charger could cause interference if placed close to a radio during charging. In this event, move the radio and charger further apart.

Do not leave the battery charger in the following types of locations:

Extremely humidity or high temperatures, such as close to a heating appliance or in direct sunlight

Places with strong vibrationIn very dusty places

The battery charger accepts input voltages of 100-240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz and can be used all over the world. However, the shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the country of use. Consult your travel agent for details.
