GETTING READY
If the [CHARGE] lamp flashes red
This indicates that the camera or battery is faulty, or that the 
battery is loaded in the camera incorrectly.
Remove the battery from the camera and check if its contacts 
are dirty. If they are, wipe them off with a dry cloth and then 
reload the battery into the camera. After confirming that the AC 
adaptor is plugged into the power outlet and the USB cradle, set 
the camera on the cradle again.
IMPORTANT!
• Use only the bundled USB cradle or the separately 
available special charger unit (BC-11L) to charge the 
special rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-20). The 
battery cannot be charged using any other type of charger 
device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in 
unexpected accident.
• Use only the AC adaptor that comes bundled with the 
camera. Never use any other type of AC adaptor. Use of 
the separately available AD-C30, AD-C40, AD-C620, or 
AD-C630 is not supported.
■ Battery Power Conservation Tips
• When you do not need to use the flash, select “ ” (flash off) 
for the flash setting (page 76).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect 
against wasting battery power when you forget to turn off the 
camera (page 45).
If an error still continues to occur after you perform the above 
steps, it could mean that the battery is faulty. Contact your 
nearest CASIO authorized service center.
