Nikon COOLPIX8800 EN-EL7 Batteries, When the Battery Is Not in Use, Alternative Power Sources

EN-EL7 Batteries

Before using the EN-EL7, read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages ii–iii and 147 of this manual.

Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). During charging, the temperature should be in the vicinity of 5–35 °C (41– 95 °F). Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.

When the Battery Is Not in Use

When the battery is not in use, remove it from the camera or battery charger and replace the terminal cover. The camera and battery charger draw minute amounts of current even when off; if left in place, the battery could be drained to the point that it no longer functions. Turn the camera off before removing or inserting batteries. To remove the battery, open the battery-chamber cover as described in Step 2, above, and slide the battery out. Note that the battery may become hot during use; observe due caution when removing the battery.

Alternative Power Sources

To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-54 AC adapter (available separately; 143). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

Removing the Battery-Chamber Cover

To remove the battery-chamber cover when using the optional MB-CP11 battery pack, open the cover, press it down (￿) and twist it off as shown (￿).

Replace the battery-chamber cover when the battery pack is not in use. To replace the cover, insert one corner and press down while rotating the cover as shown until it clicks into place.
