Managing Batteries
• Minimize unnecessary power cycling. If you expect to
average more than two pictures every five minutes, leave
the camera on with the Image Display off, rather than
turning off the camera after each shot. This minimizes the
number of times the lens must extend and retract.
• Use the optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart
M-series dock when the camera will be on for extended
periods of time, such as when you transfer images to your
computer or when printing.
Safety Precautions for Using Batteries
•
Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in
the camera, the optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, or
the optional HP Photosmart Quick Recharger.
• Do not place a battery in fire or heat the battery.
•
Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative
terminal of a battery to each other with any metal object
(such as wire).
• Do not carry or store a battery together with coins,
necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects. Placing a
battery in contact with coins is especially dangerous to
you! To avoid injury, do not drop a battery into a
change-filled pocket.
•
Do not pierce a battery with nails, strike a battery with
a hammer, step on a battery, or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto a battery.
•
Do not expose a battery to water or salt water, or allow
a battery to get wet.
•
Do not disassemble or modify a battery. A battery
contains safety and protection devices, which, if
damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode, or ignite.
