A Managing Batteries
Your camera uses two AA batteries. For best results, use
Energizer Lithium AA or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) AA batteries.
Alkaline batteries provide far less battery life than Lithium or
NiMH batteries. If you must use Alkaline batteries, use high-
grade “ultra” or “premium” varieties instead of ordinary
Alkaline batteries. Depending on your camera usage,
Lithium batteries will provide approximately 4-8 times more
battery life than Alkaline batteries. If you prefer rechargeable
batteries, NiMH will provide approximately 2-5 times more
battery life than Alkaline.
Top Points About Batteries
• The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be
sure that you fully charge them before using them in
the camera.
• If you do not intend to use your camera for an
extended period of time (more than two months), HP
recommends that you remove the batteries unless you
are using rechargeable batteries and are leaving the
camera docked or connected to an optional HP AC
power adapter.
• When inserting the batteries in the camera, always be
sure to orient the batteries as directed by the markings
in the battery compartment. If the batteries are inserted
improperly, the compartment door may close but the
camera will not operate.
