A Managing Batteries
Your camera uses a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07
Lithium Ion battery for HP Photosmart R-series cameras
(L1812A/L1812B).
Top Points About Batteries
Always insert the battery in the camera correctly (see
page 14). If the battery is inserted improperly, the
compartment door may close but the camera will not
operate.
New rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are shipped
partially charged. Fully recharge them before first use.
If you do not intend to use your camera for more than two
months, leave the camera connected to the HP
AC
adapter. The camera will top off the battery periodically
to ensure that the camera is always ready for use.
A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery can be left in the
camera, the dock, or the quick recharger for any period
of time without harm.
If a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery has not been used
for more than two months, recharge it before using it
again. Fully recharge Lithium Ion batteries every six
months to a year to prolong their useful life.
The performance of Lithium Ion batteries degrades over
time, especially if stored and used at high temperatures. If
battery life is unacceptably short, replace the battery.
