It will be completely discharged in about six months if you do not use your camera at all. Even if the vanadium-lithium battery is not charged, it will not affect the camera operation. To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if the battery is discharged.

•Connect your camera to house current (mains) using the AC power adaptor supplied with your camera, and leave your camera with the power turned off for more than 24 hours.

•Or install the fully charged battery pack in your camera, and leave your camera with the power turned off for more than 24 hours.
