Appendix A: Managing Batteries 131
z Minimize unnecessary power cycling. If you expect to
average more than two pictures every five minutes, leave the
camera on with the Image Display off, rather than turning
off the camera after each shot. This minimizes the number of
times the lens must extend and retract.
z Use the optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart
M-series dock when the camera will be on for extended
periods of time, such as when you transfer images to your
computer or when printing.
Safety Precautions for Using
NiMH Batteries
z Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in
the camera, the optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, or
the optional HP Photosmart Quick Recharger.
z Do not place an NiMH battery in fire or heat the battery.
z Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative
terminal of an NiMH battery to each other with any metal
object (such as wire).
z Do not carry or store an NiMH battery together with coins,
necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects. Placing an
NiMH battery in contact with coins is especially dangerous
to you! To avoid injury, do not drop this battery into a
change-filled pocket.
z Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a
hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong
impacts or shocks.
z Do not solder directly onto the battery.
z Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow
the battery to get wet.
