Setting Up Your Camera

1-3

Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The charger

light turns red, indicating that the charger is working.

When the batteries are charged, after about two and a

half hours, the light goes off.

NOTE

Replace the batteries with new EPSON NiMH batteries if the

charger light stays on for more than four hours or the charger

light flashes for more than half an hour.

Now charge your batteries again by unplugging the

battery power cord and then plugging it in again.

Charge the batteries a third time. After the charger light

goes off, unplug the charger. To avoid overcharging,

don’t leave the charger plugged in for long periods of

time after the light goes off.

Wait one hour until the batteries cool before removing

them from the charger.

WARNING

Batteries are very hot (149 °F [65 °C]) after charging.

Before storing the charger, disconnect the power cord

and remove the batteries.

(For subsequent charges of your NiMH rechargeable

batteries, follow steps 1 through 3, then unplug the charger

and follow steps 6 and 7 above.)

Be sure to charge the batteries completely to make them last

as long as possible. They can be recharged hundreds of times,

so do not dispose of them until they are worn out.

NOTE

To keep the charger terminals clean, unplug the charger and wipe

the terminals with a dry cloth. If you find that your batteries run

out faster after you recharge them a few times, make sure you

discharge them completely before recharging. If this doesn’t

help, replace the batteries.
