Remove the camera from the COOL-STATION
When charging is complete, remove the camera
from the COOL-STATION, close the multi connector
cover, and unplug the AC adapter. Make sure that
the multi connector cover is tightly closed.
Removing the Battery from the Camera
Turn the camera off ( 12) before removing or inserting
batteries. To eject the battery, slide the battery latch in the
direction shown. The battery can then be removed by hand.
Note that the battery may become hot during use; observe
due caution when removing the battery.
EN-EL8 Batteries
Before using the EN-EL8, read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages
ii–iii and 85 of this manual.
The EH-63 AC Adapter
The supplied EH-63 AC adapter can also be connected di-
rectly to the camera as shown at right. Whether connected
directly to the camera or to the MV-12 COOL-STATION, the
EH-63 can be used to power the camera or to charge the bat-
tery. Do not, under any circumstances, use another make
or model of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
When connecting the adapter, be sure the DC plug is in the correct orientation.
Inserting the plug upside down could damage the camera or COOL-STATION.
After disconnecting the camera from the AC adapter, make sure that the multi connec-
tor cover is tightly closed.
