Lithium ion batteries are both compact and capable of
storing large quantities of power. However, if they are
stored for long periods while charged, the performance
of the battery can be impaired.
●
If the battery will not be used for some time, run the
battery flat before storing it.
●
If the battery is kept in storage for a long period, charge
the battery and then run it flat again at least once a year.
●
Always remove the battery from the digital camera or
battery charger when it is not being used. Left
installed, minute amounts of current flow even when
unused, and the battery may become excessively
drained and no longer function.
●
Attach the cap and store in a cool place.
✽
The battery should be stored in a dry location with an
ambient temperature b15°C and +25°C
(+59°F and +77°F).
✽
Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.
■
Handling the Battery
To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:
●
Do not allow the metal portions of the battery to touch
other metal objects.
●
Do not bring the battery close to a flame or throw it
into a fire.
●
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
The FinePix4800 ZOOM camera uses a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly.
✽
When shipped, the NP-80 is not fully charged. Always
charge the battery before using it.
●
Always remove the battery cap when using the battery.
●
When you are carrying the battery around, load it into
the digital camera or attach the cap.
●
When storing the battery, store it with the cap fitted.

Battery Features
●
The battery gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a battery that has been charged recently
(in the last day or two) to take pictures.
●
To maximize the battery life, switch the camera off as
quickly as possible when it is not being used.
●
The number of available shots will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged battery.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the battery in your pocket or another warm
place to heat it and then loading it into the camera
just before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place
the battery directly against the pad. The camera may
not operate if you use a depleted battery in cold
conditions.
■
Charging the Battery
●
The battery can be charged using the AC-5V/AC-5VH
(provided as an accessory or sold separately) AC
Power Adapter supplied with the FinePix4800 ZOOM.
The battery takes approximately 5 hours to charge.
If you use the BC-80 Battery Charger (sold separately),
the battery can be charged in approximately 70 minutes.
●
This rechargeable battery does not need to be fully
discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.
●
The battery may feel warm after it has been charged
or immediately after being used. This is perfectly
normal.
●
The battery can be charged at temperatures between
0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F), but should be
charged b10°C and +30°C (+50°F and +86°F)
to obtain maximum battery performance.
●
Do not recharge a fully charged battery.
■
Battery Life
At normal temperatures, this battery can be used at
least 300 times.
If the time for which the battery provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
Notes on storage
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its
life, observe the following:
●
Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts.
●
Do not immerse the battery in water.
To ensure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
●
Always keep the battery terminals clean.
●
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the
battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten
the battery life.
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera
body and the battery itself will become warm. This is
normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power
adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking
pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.
