Using the HP AC Power Adapter
Figure 82: Connecting the HP AC Power Adapter’s
Cable to the Camera
To connect the HP AC Power Adapter to the camera:
1 Plug the AC power adapter into a power source, such as a wall outlet or power strip.
2 Open the door to the connector compartment on the camera. The connector compartment is
located on the far right side of the camera when you are looking at the front of the camera.
3 Connect the round end of the AC power adapter’s cable to the middle (power adapter)
connector in the camera (see Figure 82).
Note: Use the HP-approved AC power adapter
as the power source for the camera during
power-intensive operations, like when you are
using the camera’s image LCD for an extended
period of time.
Using the HP NiMH Batteries and Recharger
If you purchase the HP NiMH Battery Recharger, which includes 4 rechargeable NiMH batteries,
please note the following:
Before you install the batteries in the HP 618 camera, you must charge all 4 NiMH batteries in
the HP NiMH Battery Recharger per the instructions that came with the Battery Recharger.
You must recharge all 4 NiMH batteries after fully draining them four times for the batteries to
reach their optimum capacity and performance.
Always recharge all 4 NiMH batteries at the same time. One low-charged battery will reduce the
battery life for all 4 batteries in the camera.
Do not store the batteries in the HP NiMH Battery Recharger for an extended period of time if it
is not necessary.
Do not over-charge the batteries. Disconnecting and reconnecting the HP NiMH Battery
Recharger to AC power frequently, without discharging the batteries, may cause over-charging.
Do not expose the NiMH batteries to heat. Permanent damage will result if the batteries are
exposed to temperatures above 110° F or 43° C. Always store the batteries in a cool location.
After long-term storage, recharge all 4 NiMH batteries before use. This is because the battery
cells discharge over time. (At room temperature, NiMH batteries generally discharge at about
1% per day.)
