Handling and disposing of batteries and chargers with care
•Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when you dispose of used batteries.
•Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices,
such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may
explode when they are overheated.
•Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly.
Charge the battery until the red indicator light turns off.
•If the indicator light does not illuminate, reconnect the cable, or
remove the battery and insert it again.
•Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is
finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
•Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so
may damage the cable.

•Use only the provided USB cable.
•The battery may not charge when:
-
you use a USB hub
-
other USB devices are connected to your computer
-
you connect the cable to the port on the front side of your
computer
-
the USB port of your computer does not support the power output
standard (5 V, 500 mA)
