58

Chapter 8

3Place the camera in the Camera Dock and

push down to seat the connectors; the Dock

locator pin fits into the camera tripod

socket.

The Camera Dock light glows green

when the connectors are properly

seated. The camera is now powered by

the Camera Dock instead of the camera

batteries.

NOTE: If the Battery Pack in the camera requires charging, the Camera Dock

light turns red after a few seconds and charging begins.

Charging the Battery Pack

The batteries in the Battery Pack are not charged when you receive it.

1Turn off the camera.

2Make sure the Battery Pack is installed in the camera.

3Place the camera in the Camera Dock (see page 57).

mCharging begins after a few seconds.

mThe Camera Dock light glows red while charging, then glows green

when the Battery Pack is fully charged.

mFull charging takes about 2.5 hours. After the Battery Pack is fully

charged, leave the camera in the Camera Dock. It continually senses

battery power and resumes charging whenever necessary. Under these

conditions, there is no red light while charging.

mCharging stops if you turn on the camera. If the camera is left in the

Camera Dock with the power on, charging resumes when the camera

enters automatic power down mode (see page 6).

NOTE: The Camera Dock only charges the KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery

Pack. If you place the camera in the Camera Dock with any other type of

batteries, rechargeable or not, no charging takes place.
