Preparing the Power Supply

NOTES

• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF).

Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.

• If there is a malfunction with the battery charger, compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator

will go out and charging will stop.

• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to

Safety Instructions

(A 2),

Battery Pack

(A 212).

• For approximate charging times and usage times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to the

Reference

Table s

(A 223).

• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day

before, to ensure a full charge.

• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.

• Repeatedly charging and completely depleting a battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can

check the battery life on the [

System Setup] status screen (A 196). Fully charging the battery pack and

then depleting it completely will give you a more accurate reading.
