2.2
Charging the Battery
The battery charge status affects the performance of the DC
P500
. To maximize the performance and life of the battery, it
is recommended that you fully charge the battery using the
AC power adapter, and then fully discharge it through the
normal use at least one time. Make sure that the power of the
camera is off before inserting the battery.
1. Insert the conversion adapter into the conversion adapter
terminal of the camera as shown in the illustration.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter to the DC IN
terminal of the conversion adapter.
3. Connect the other end of the AC power adapter to a wall outlet.
The length of the charging time depends on the ambient temperature and the status of
the battery.
•
The DC
P500
must be used with the specified AC power adapter. Damage caused by the
use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the warranty. Always make sure that the
camera is off before removing the battery.
•
The battery may be warm after being charged or used. This is normal and not a malfunc-
tion.
