Using Batteries
Your EPSON PhotoPC 800 comes with a charger (Model
EU-38) and four rechargeable NiMH batteries (Model EU-
24) that can be recharged hundreds of times. While you use
two batteries in your camera, you can keep a replacement set
of batteries charged and ready to take along.
Note
New batteries need to be fully charged three times before you use
them. This process takes approximately five or six hours—but you
only need to do it once. When you need to recharge your batteries in
the future, it takes approximately two and a half hours for a full
charge.
Charging Batteries
It’s important to fully charge your batteries, so they will last as
long as possible before they need recharging.
WARNING
Shock hazard. Make sure you use the charger only with EPSON
rechargeable NiMH batteries (model EU-24). To avoid the danger of
leakage or explosion, do not place any other batteries in the charger.
Read all safety and handling instructions on page page 6 before using
the charger.
Follow these steps to charge your batteries for the first time:
1. Insert two or four batteries, positioning the + and – ends as
shown.
2. Connect the battery charger to the battery charger power
cord, as shown below.
