A Managing batteries

Your camera uses a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 Lithium Ion battery (L1812A/L1812B).

Top points about batteries

Always insert the battery in the camera correctly (see Install the battery on page 7). 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 charge 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 or optional dock or 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.

The performance of Lithium Ion batteries will decrease as the temperature drops. To improve battery performance, keep the camera or batteries stored in a warm inside pocket when in a cold environment.

Extending battery life

To conserve battery power, the Image Display turns off after 45 seconds by default. Pressing any button wakes up the camera. After five minutes of inactivity, the camera turns off.

To further extend battery life:

Set Display Brightness to Low (see Display Brightness under Using the Setup Menu on page 41).

Change the Display Timeout value to a shorter interval (see Display Timeout under Using the Setup Menu on page 41).

Set your camera to Auto Flash (see Auto Flash under Setting the flash on page 16).

Use optical zoom sparingly.

If you are turning on the camera only to view images, hold down while turning on the camera to start in Playback without extending the lens.

Connect the camera to the HP AC power adapter via the dock when you transfer or print.

Safety precautions for using batteries

Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery. Always store charged batteries in a cool location.

Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to each other with any metal object.

Do not carry or store the battery with metal objects. Do not drop the battery into a change-filled pocket.

Do not pierce the battery or subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

Do not solder directly onto the battery.

Do not allow the battery to get wet.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
