Recharging NiMH Batteries
NiMH batteries can be recharged in the camera when the
camera is connected to an optional HP
AC power adapter
or HP Photosmart M-series dock. NiMH batteries can also be
recharged with the optional HP Photosmart battery quick
recharger. For information about these optional accessories,
see
Appendix B, Purchasing Camera Accessories, starting on
page159.
The following table shows the average time it takes to
recharge NiMH batteries that have been fully discharged,
depending on where the batteries are being charged. The
table also notes the signal you will see when the batteries
have been recharged.
