Quick Start Basics
Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps
under “To charge the battery” to bring the battery to a full charge.
• Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-40) for
power. Never try to use any other type of battery.
1. Positioning the positive
+
and negative
-
terminals of the battery with those of
the charger unit, load the battery into
the charger unit.
2. Plug the charger unit into a
household power outlet.
About 150 minutes are required to reach
full charge. The [CHARGE] lamp will go
out when charging is complete. Unplug the
power cord from the power outlet and then
remove the battery from the charger.
Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-31L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-40).
Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger
can result in unexpected accident.
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery
time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or
radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
First, charge the battery prior to use.
