Charging the Battery

When using the camera for the first time or when the [Battery depleted.] message is displayed, charge the battery.

1 Connect the AC plug cord to the battery charger.

2 Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.

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

The charging indicator lights red while the battery is charging and changes to green when charging is completed.

4 When charging is completed, remove the battery from the battery charger.

• The time required for full charge is about 100 minutes maximum. The appropriate ambient temperature range for charging the battery is 0°C-40°C (32°F to 104°F).

•The charging time may vary depending on the ambient temperature and charging conditions.

•When the battery reaches the end of its service life, the time that the camera can be operated becomes shorter even when the battery is fully charged. In this event, replace the battery.

•Always charge the battery after purchasing or when it has not been used for a long time.

•Do not use the battery charger D-BC8 to charge the battery other than the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI8, 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 with a new battery.
