hp photosmart 930 series user’s manual

The camera 

batteries will 

not charge. 

(continued)

The wrong AC 

power adapter 

is being used.

Use only the HP AC power 

adapter approved for use with 

this camera. See 

Purchasing 

camera accessories

 on 

page 103.

The batteries 

are damaged 

or bad.

NiMH batteries degrade over 

time and can fail. If the camera 

detects a problem with the 

batteries, it will not start charging 

or will stop charging prematurely. 

Purchase new batteries.

The Power/

Memory light 

blinks as if 

the batteries 

are being 

recharged, 

but there are 

no batteries 

installed.

The camera 

does not 

recognize that 

there are no 

batteries 

installed.

Do nothing. The blinking is 

harmless and should stop after 

5-30 minutes.

The wrong 

date and/or 

time is 

shown.

The batteries 

are drained 

or were 

removed from 

the camera for 

too long.

The date and time will be 

maintained for about 10 minutes 

without batteries installed. Reset 

the date and time by using the 

Date & Time

 option in the 

Setup

 

menu. (See 

Date & time

 on 

page 72.)
