Getting Started
Powering the Camera
Use the battery charger to charge the battery before using it in the
camera for the first time or after a long period of non-use, or when the
[Battery depleted] message appears.
1 Connect the AC plug cord to the battery charger D-BC8.
2 Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.
3 Place the battery in the charger so that the PENTAX
logo is visible.
The charging indicator lights red while the battery is charging
and changes to green when charging is finished.
4 Remove the battery from the battery charger when
charging is finished.
Charging the Battery
•
The time required to fully charge the battery is about 100 minutes
(max.). The appropriate ambient temperature for charging the
battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). (The charging time may vary
depending on the ambient temperature and charging conditions.)
• The battery has reached the end of its service life when it starts to
run down soon after being charged. Replace with a new battery.
• Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than the
rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI8, as the charger may
overheat or be damaged.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to
light, the battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.
