• Make sure that the plugs are aligned
correctly and that they are inserted
straight. (Otherwise their pins may be bent
which may cause malfunction or even the
camera to be damaged.)
• If the computer enters a suspended state while charging the battery, charging will stop.
• Connecting the camera to a notebook computer that is not connected to a power outlet will
cause the notebook computer battery to drain faster. Do not leave the camera connected for
extended periods of time.
• Be sure to always connect the camera to a computer USB terminal.
Do not connect the camera to a monitor, keyboard or printer USB terminal, or a USB hub.
