Setting Up Your Camera
Installing the Batteries
The HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera uses three AA NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries. It also uses a coin battery for retaining the date and time information. The camera comes with a coin battery (already installed), three NiMH batteries, and an NiMH battery charger.
Installing the Main Batteries
Caution: Use only AA NiMH batteries. Replace all three batteries at the same time. Do not replace the batteries individually. Always follow instructions on the battery package when handling or disposing of batteries.
