GETTING READY
25
IMPORTANT!
• It takes about two hours to achieve a full charge. Ac-
tual charging time depends on current battery capac-
ity and charging conditions.
• Use only the USB cradle to charge the special NP-20
rechargeable lithium ion battery. Never use any other
charger device.
• Use only the bundled AC adaptor. Never use any
other type of AC adaptor. Do not use optionally avail-
able AD-C620 and AD-C630 AC adaptors with this
camera.
• Make sure that the camera connector of the USB
cradle is securely inserted into the camera’s connec-
tor as far as it will go.
• The CHARGE lamp may remain amber colored and
the charge operation may not start right away if you try
to charge immediately after using the camera (which
causes battery to become warm) or when it is too hot
or too cold where you are performing the charge op-
eration. If this happens, simply wait until the battery
reaches normal temperature. The CHARGE lamp will
turn red and charging will start when the battery tem-
perature returns to the allowable charging tempera-
ture range.
• The CHARGE lamp flashing red indicates that an error
occurred while charging. An error can be caused by
any of the following: a problem with the cradle, a prob-
lem with the camera, or a problem with the battery or
how it is loaded. Remove the camera from the cradle
and see if it works normally.
• The USB cradle can be used for charging or USB data
communication only.
NOTE
• USB cradle is designed for operation with any power
supply in the range of 100V to 240V AC. Note, how-
ever, that the shape of the hic7 tord plug variesd by
