Technical Notes
Sufficiently Charge the Battery When Cold
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Do not cool the camera at low
temperatures. A camera whose battery is exhausted at low temperature may not turn on.
Keep the camera in a warm place. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its
charge.
Charging a Camera That Has an Exhausted Battery
Turning on or off a camera that has an exhausted battery may result in reduced built-in
battery life. Charge the camera that has an exhausted battery before use.
Storing the Battery
• Recharge the camera at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before
returning it to storage.
• Store the camera in a cool place. The battery should be stored in a dry location with an
ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or
extremely cold locations.
Rechargeable Battery Life and Replacement
A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at room
temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. For replacement (charges
apply) with a new rechargeable battery, consult your Nikon-authorized service
representative. You cannot replace the rechargeable battery.
Recycling
See “Recycling Used Batteries” (A31) for more information.
The Charging AC Adapter
• The EH-73P Charging AC Adapter is for use only with compatible devices. Do not use with
another make or model of device.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than
the EH-73P Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC
adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
• The EH-73P is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in
other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. For more
