AThe Battery and Charger

Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages vi – viii and 233 – X 235 of this manual. Do not short the charger terminals; failure to

observe this precaution could result in overheating and damage to the charger. 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. If the CHARGE lamp flashes quickly, unplug the charger and remove and reinsert the battery. If the problem persists, cease use immediately and take battery and charger to your retailer or a Nikon- authorized service representative.

The battery may be hot immediately after use. Wait for the battery to cool before recharging.

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