Pioneer DC500 manual Charging the Battery

Charging the Battery

The state-of-charge of the battery will affect the performance of the digital still camera. To maximize battery performance and lifetime, it is recommended that you fully charge the battery using the optional AC power adapter and then fully discharge it (through normal use) at least one time. Please note that the digital still camera must be powered off before charging the battery. Otherwise, the power will be provided only to the digital still camera.

1. Place the camera on the cradle. Connect the AC power adapter to the jack on the cradle labeled "DC IN 5V".

2. Connect the other end of the AC power adapter to a wall outlet.

Charging time differs depending on the ambient temperature and the status of battery.

Use the appropriate international plug adapter (included) depending on the type of electrical outlet in your country.

The digital still camera must be used with the specified AC power adapter. Damage caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.

Always make sure that the digital still camera is off before removing the battery.

The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is normal and not a malfunction.

When using the digital still camera in cold environments, keep the digital still camera and its battery warm by holding it inside your jacket or other warm protective environment.

The battery is not fully charged at shipment and must be fully charged before being used.
