You can connect the camera to a computer with or without a PCMCIA card in the camera. Once the camera is connected to a computer, you can insert/remove a PCMCIA card while the camera and computer are turned on or turned off; however, do not remove a PCMCIA card from the camera 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 hard disk. 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 while it is connected to the AC battery charger/adapter, the camera will be ready for operation 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, you may need to wait for approximately three minutes while the adapter charges the battery.) If you will be operat- ing the camera without the AC battery charger/adapter, you should charge the battery for at least two hours before using as described in Chapter 4.
If the unusual behavior continues for more than five minutes, the battery may need to be replaced; contact Kodak.
