D Charging the Battery
Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages vi–viii and 68–70 of this manual.
Charge
the battery indoors at ambient temperatures of 5 °C–35 °C (41 °F–95 °F).
Do not use the
battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F; failure to observe
this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.
Capacity may be
reduced and charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0 °C/32 °F to 15 °C/
59 °F and from 45 °C/113 °F to 60 °C/140 °F.
The battery will not charge if its temperature is
below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
If the CHARGE lamp flashes quickly (about eight
times a second) during charging, confirm that the temperature is in the correct range and
then unplug the charger and remove and reinsert the battery.
If the problem persists, cease
use immediately and take battery and charger to your retailer or a Nikon-authorized service
representative.
Use the charger with compatible batteries only.
Unplug when not in use.
