4. Charge the Battery

You can charge a battery in the camera (explained here) or in the extra battery bay of the camera dock or in the

HP Photosmart quick recharger (see Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 193).

If your camera battery is a disposable Duracell® CP1 battery, skip this procedure. If the battery is a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery:

1.Plug the power cord into the HP AC power adapter. If more than one power cord is in the box, use the cord that is appropriate for power outlets in your country. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet.

2.Open the small rubber door on the side of the camera.

3.Attach the thin cord from the HP AC power adapter to the power adapter

connector on the side of the camera as shown.

The Power/Memory light on the back of the camera will start blinking to show that the battery is charging.

The rechargeable Lithium Ion battery will usually charge fully in 4-6 hours in the camera. When the Power/Memory light stops blinking, the battery is fully charged, and you can then unplug the HP AC power adapter from the camera. You can continue to use the camera while the battery is being charged by the HP AC power adapter.

NOTE: The camera may get warm while it is charging the battery, as well as after prolonged use under battery power. This is normal.
