•
Turning
the
camera on and
off
repeatedly
when the battery
is
fully
discharged
will
shorten battery
life.
Batteries
that
have been
fully
discharged must be charged before use.
•
The
internal
temperature
of
the
battery may rise while
the battery
is
in
use.
Attempting
to
charge
the
battery while
the
internal
temperature
is
elevated will
impair battery performance, and
the
battery may
not
charge or charge
only
partially. Wait for the battery
to
cool
before
charging.
• Charge
the battery indoors at
ambient
temperatures
of
5 oC-35
oc
(41
°F-95
°F).
Do
not
use
the battery at
ambient
temperatures
below
0 oc
(32
°F)
or above
40
oc
(1
04
°F);
failure
to
observe this precaution
could damage the battery or impair its performance.
Capacity
may be
reduced and charging times may increase at battery temperatures
from
0
oc
(32
°
F)
to
15
oc
(59
°
F)
and from
45
oc (113
°F)
to
60
oc
(140
°F).
The battery will
not
charge
if
its temperature
is
below 0
oc
(32
°F)
or
above
60
oc
(140
°F).
•
If
the
CHARGE
lamp flashes quickly
(about
eight
times a second)
during
charging, confirm
that
the
temperature
is
in the correct range and
then
unplug
the charger and remove and reinsert the battery. If
the
problem
persists,
cease
use immediately and take battery and charger
to
your retailer or a Nikon-authorized service representative.
•
Do
not
move the charger or touch
the
battery
during
charging.
Failure
to
observe this precaution could in very rare instances
result
in
the
charger showing
that
charging
is
complete
when the battery
is
only
partially
charged. Remove and reinsert
the
battery
to
begin charging
again.
• Continuing
to
charge the battery after
it
is
fully
charged can
impair
battery performance.
• A marked
drop
in
the
time
a
fully
charged battery retains its charge
when used at room temperature indicates
that
it
requires replacement.
Purchase a
new
EN-EL
14a
battery.
•
Use
the
charger
with
compatible
batteries
only. Unplug when
not
in
use.
