If you will not be using your camera immediately after charging the batteries, we recommend that you leave the camera in the dock or plugged in to the HP AC power adapter. The camera will top off the batteries periodically to ensure that the camera is always ready for use.

Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are as follows:

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

•You may notice that the first several times you use NiMH batteries, the battery life seems shorter than what you expect. Performance will improve and become optimal after the batteries have been charged and then discharged (used) completely four or five times. You can use the camera normally to discharge the batteries during this conditioning period.

•Always recharge both NiMH batteries at the same time. One low-charged battery will reduce the battery life for the other battery in the camera.
