Appendix A: Managing Batteries

Your camera uses two AA batteries. Do not use ordinary alkaline batteries. For best results, use Energizer Lithium AA or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA batteries.

Top Points About Batteries

zThe first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure that you fully charge them before using them in the camera.

zIf you do not intend to use your camera for extended periods of time (more than two months), HP recommends that you remove the batteries unless you are using rechargeable batteries and are leaving the camera docked or connected to an optional HP AC power adapter.

zWhen inserting the batteries in the camera, always be sure to orient the batteries as directed by the markings in the battery compartment. If the batteries are inserted improperly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not operate.

zNever use batteries of different chemistries (Lithium and NiMH), brands, or ages. This can cause erratic camera behavior, as well as battery leakage. Always use two identical batteries of the same chemistry, brand, and age.
