You can connect the camera back to a computer with or without a PCMCIA card in the camera back. Once the camera back is con- nected to a computer, you can insert/remove a PCMCIA card while the camera back and computer are turned on or turned off; however, do not remove a PCMCIA card from the camera back while the red “Card Busy” light on the camera back is blinking. The blinking indicates that data are being read from or written to the PCMCIA card. If you do, you may lose the current image, and may lose all of your images as well.
CAUTION: To prevent fire or shock hazard, use only the recommended accessories or attachments.
Battery — Important Warnings
Do not attempt to remove the battery; it is not a customer serviceable part.
If you will be operating the camera back while it is connected to the AC battery charger/adapter, the camera back will be ready for opera- tion almost immediately. However, if you are beginning with a dead battery, and notice unusual behavior such as random characters flashing on the camera back LCD, charge the battery following special charging instructions in chapters 4 (Macintosh) or 5 (PC). If you will be operating the camera back without the AC battery charger/adapter, you should charge the battery as described in chapters 4 (Macintosh) or 5 (PC). This will require one hour at most.
