Kodak DC40 4 Using a Power Adapter

4 Using a Power Adapter

To save the charge in your batteries, you can plug your camera into an electrical outlet using a specific type of surge-protected power adapter. A power adapter is especially helpful when transferring the pictures to your computer.

You should be able to purchase a custom universal adapter (Kodak catalog number 102 3662) from the retailer who sold you the camera. North American customers can order 120 V input-only adapters (Kodak catalog number 888 9933). If the retailer does not stock the adapters, call the telephone number listed in the ™Getting Help section of Chapter 7.

The Apple MACINTOSH PowerBook AC Adapter M4662 for use with the PowerBook 140 or 170 will also work with your camera.

WARNING: Using power adapters other than those recommended for use with the DC40 camera voids the camera's warranty, and may result in fire, electrical shock, or damage to the camera.
