Canon A640PS Digital Camera User Manual

zIf you store batteries for a long period of time (about 1
year), it is recommended that you fully deplete the
batteries in the camera and to then store them at room
temperature (0 to 30 °C/32 to 90 °F) in low humidity.
Storing them in a fully charged condition can shorten their
lifespan or degrade their performance.
Again, if you do not use batteries for more than 1 year, fully
charge them once a year and fully deplete in the camera
before storing them.
zIf the battery usage time has become considerably low
despite wiping the terminals and charging them until the
battery charger indicator remains lit, this may indicate that
the batteries have reached the end of their lifespan.
Replace them with new batteries. If you are purchasing
new batteries, look for Canon AA-size NiMH batteries.
zLeaving batteries in the camera or charger may result in
damage from battery leakage. When not in use, remove
the batteries from the camera or charger and store them in
a cool, dry location.
zIt takes approximately 4 hours 40 minutes for the charger to
fully recharge the batteries after they have been depleted
(as determined by testing at Canon facilities).
Charge batteries in an environment where the temperature
is in the range of 0 to 35 °C (32 to 95 °F).
zThe charging time varies according to the ambient
temperature and to the battery charge state.
zThe battery charger may emit noise while charging. This is
not a malfunction.
zBattery/Charger Kit CBK4-200 can also be used.
