8 Using the KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Dock

The KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Dock (Camera Dock) makes it easier than ever to transfer your pictures to the computer. In addition, the Camera Dock is a rapid battery charger for the included KODAK EASYSHARE Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack, and the Camera Dock supplies power to the camera.

To keep the Battery Pack charged and the camera always ready to take pictures, store your camera in the Camera Dock whenever you are not using it.

NOTE: A Dock insert, packaged with all KODAK EASYSHARE Cameras, is required to custom-fit your camera into the Camera Dock.

If a KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Dock was not included with your camera, you can purchase one as an accessory. See your Kodak retail dealer or visit our Web site at http://www.kodak.com/go/easyshareaccessories.
