Appendix A:
Managing Batteries
Your camera uses either a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07
lithium ion battery for HP Photosmart R-series cameras
(L1812A), or a disposable Duracell CP1 battery. For best
results, use only a rechargeable HP branded lithium ion battery
or high-quality lithium disposable battery.
Top Points About Batteries
! New rechargeable batteries are shipped partially charged.
Lithium ion rechargeable batteries must be fully charged
before first use or if unused for 2+ months.
! If you do not intend to use your camera for extended
periods of time (more than two months), HP recommends
that you remove the battery unless you are using a
rechargeable battery and are leaving the camera docked or
connected to an HP AC power adapter.
! When inserting the battery in the camera, always be sure to
orient the battery as directed by the markings in the battery
compartment. If the battery is inserted improperly, the
compartment door may close but the camera will not
operate.
! You might notice that occasionally the battery gauge will
fluctuate with the same battery. This occurs because some
operating modes, such as Live View or video recording,
consume more power than other modes. This will cause the
battery gauge to indicate that your battery level is lower,
because battery operating time in those modes is shorter.
