DThe Battery and Charger

Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages xi–xiii and 228– 231 of this manual. Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F); failure to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance. Capacity may be reduced and charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0°C (32°F) to 10°C (50°F) and from 45°C (113°F) to 60°C (140°F); the battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F).

Charge the battery at ambient temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F). If the CHARGE lamp flashes quickly during charging, cease use immediately and take battery and charger to your retailer or a Nikon-authorized service representative.

Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging. Failure to observe this precaution could in very rare instances result in the charger showing that charging is complete when the battery is only partially charged. Remove and reinsert the battery to begin charging again.

Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use.
