Your camera uses a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 Lithium Ion battery for HP Photosmart
Top Points About Batteries
•Always insert the battery in the camera correctly (see page 14). If the battery is inserted improperly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not operate.
•New rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are shipped partially charged. Fully recharge them before first use.
•If you do not intend to use your camera for more than two months, leave the camera connected to the HP AC adapter. The camera will top off the battery periodically to ensure that the camera is always ready for use.
•A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery can be left in the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger for any period of time without harm.
•If a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery has not been used for more than two months, recharge it before using it again. Fully recharge Lithium Ion batteries every six months to a year to prolong their useful life.
•The performance of Lithium Ion batteries degrades over time, especially if stored and used at high temperatures. If battery life is unacceptably short, replace the battery.
