Charging the Battery

Use the battery charger to charge the battery before installing it in the camera for the first time or after a long period of non-use, or when the message [Battery depleted] appears.

Note: AC plug cord “Listed, Type SPT-2 or NISPT-2, 18/2 flexible cord, rated 125 V, 7A, minimum 6ft (1.8m)”

1 Connect the AC plug cord to the battery charger D-BC8. 2 Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.

3 Place the battery in the charger so that the PENTAX logo is visible.

The charging indicator lights red while the battery is charging. It lights green when charging is finished.

4 Remove the battery from the battery charger when charging is finished.

•The time required to fully charge the battery is about 100 minutes (max.). The appropriate ambient temperature for charging the battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). (The charging time may vary depending on the ambient temperature and charging conditions.)

•The battery has reached the end of its service life if it runs down soon after being charged. Replace with a new battery.

•Do not use the battery charger D-BC8 to charge batteries other than D-LI8 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, as the charger may overheat or be damaged.

•If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to light, the battery may be faulty. Replace it with a new battery.
