CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
CAUTION
Do not charge the battery pack immediately after the camera has been
in continuous use for a long time
iThe battery pack becomes hot when the camera is used continuously for a
long time. If you attempt to charge the battery pack in this state, the multi-
indicator may flash red and it may not be possible to charge the battery
pack. Wait until the battery pack has cooled down before attempting to
charge it.
Does the battery pack appear swollen?
iThe lithium-ion battery used in this camera may expand slightly when
stored in a hot environment or repeatedly used, but this is not a safety
hazard.

About the internal backup battery
iThis camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the
camera settings for about 7 days.
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack
iA small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it
is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the
camera settings are correct.
Recharging when connected to the USB terminal (page 6 in the Xacti
Software CD INSTRUCTION MANUAL)
iThe battery can be recharged while the camera is connected to a
computer.
iNote, however, that the time it takes to recharge will differ depending on
the camera’s operating condition.
iConnect the dedicated USB interface cable to the USB connector on your
computer. Do not connect it to the USB connector on the monitor or the
keyboard, or to the USB hub.
iIf the camera is not going to be used for an extended period of time, please
disconnect the dedicated USB interface cable from the camera.
