Safety precautions for recharging batteries
You can recharge a Lithium Ion battery in the camera or purchase an optional quick recharger. These
devices may be warm while charging a Lithium Ion battery. This is normal. However, you should
follow the safety precautions below.
• Do not charge any other battery than the HP Photosmart R07 Lithium Ion battery in the camera
or quick recharger.
• Insert the Lithium Ion battery in the correct orientation.
• Use the camera or quick recharger in a dry location only.
• Do not charge a Lithium Ion battery in a hot location, such as in direct sunlight or near a fire.
• When recharging a Lithium Ion battery, do not cover the camera or quick recharger.
• Do not operate the camera or quick recharger if the Lithium Ion battery appears damaged.
• Do not disassemble the camera or quick recharger.
• Unplug the quick recharger from the electrical outlet before cleaning it.
• After extensive use, the Lithium Ion battery may begin to swell. If it becomes difficult to insert
the battery into or remove the battery from the camera or quick recharger, discontinue use of
the battery and replace it with a new one. Please recycle the old battery.
