Technical Notes

Carrying Spare Batteries

Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on important

occasions.

Using the Battery When Cold

On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is used at a

low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and

exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

Battery Terminals

Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery

terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

Charging an Exhausted Battery

Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may result

in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.

Storing the Battery

• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not

being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in the

camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and complete

loss of function.

• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before

returning it to storage.

• Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place. The

battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F

to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

Battery Life

A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at room

temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new battery.

Recycling Used Batteries

Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource.

Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

The Charging AC Adapter

• The EH-72P Charging AC Adapter is for use only with compatible devices. Do not use with

another make or model of device.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than

the EH-72P Charging AC Adapter or USB-AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution

could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

• The EH-72P is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in

other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. For more
