DThe Battery and Charger

Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages xiii–xv and 401–404 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 increase at battery temperatures from 0 °C/ 32 °F to 15 °C/59 °F and from 45 °C/113 °F to 60 °C/140 °F.

If the CHARGE lamp flickers (i.e., flashes about eight times a second)

 

during charging, confirm that the temperature is in the correct range

 

and then 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.

 

Do not short the charger terminals; failure to observe this precaution

s

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.

 

Battery capacity may temporarily drop if the battery is charged at low

 

temperatures or used at a temperature below the temperature at which

 

it was charged. If the battery is charged at a temperature below 5 °C (41

 

°F), the battery life indicator in the Battery info (0 332) display may

 

show a temporary decrease.

 

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

 

cool before recharging.

 

The supplied power cable and AC wall adapter are for use with the

 

MH-25 only. Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug

 

when not in use.

 

A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge

 

when used at room temperature indicates that it requires replacement.

 

Purchase a new EN-EL15 battery.
