that the power of the camera is off before inserting or
removing the battery.
To insert the battery:
1. Slide the battery / SD memory card cover.
2. Insert the battery in the correct orientation shown.
•
Tilt the battery lock lever and orient the battery in the
direction of the arrow, so that its label is facing to the front side of the camera, and then
insert the battery.
3. Close the battery / SD memory card cover.
To remove the battery:
1. Slide the battery / SD memory card cover.
2. Release the battery lock lever.
3. When the battery has come out a little, gently pull it out the rest of the way.

Charging the battery
Using the AC power adapter may charge the battery or
operate the camera as power supply. Make sure that the
power of the camera is off and then insert the battery before
starting.
1. Insert one end of the AC power adapter into the DC IN
terminal of the camera.
2. Insert the other end of the AC power adapter into a wall
outlet.
•
The status LED flashes in green when the charging is started, and turns into solid
green when the battery is fully charged.
•
It is recommended that you fully discharge or exhaust the battery before being
charged.
•
The charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status of bat-
tery.
•
The DC C500 must be used with the specified AC power adapter. Damage caused by the
use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty.
•
The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This
is normal and not a malfunction.
