Do not use the battery at ambient
temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or
above 40 °C (104 °F); failure to
observe this precaution could
damage the battery or impair its
performance. Capacity may be
reduced and charging times may
increase at battery temperatures
from 0 °C (32 °F) to 10 °C (50 °F)
and from 45 °C (113 °F) to 60 °C
(140 °F); the batter y will not
charge if its temperature is below
0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F).
The battery charger
: Charge the bat-
ter y at ambient temperatures
between 5 °C (41 °F) and 35 °C
(95 °F). If the
CHARGE
lamp flashes
quickly during charging, cease use
immediately and take battery and
charger to your retailer or a Nikon-
authorized service representative.
Do not move the charger or touch
the battery during charging. Fail-
ure to observe this precaution
could in very rare instances result
in the charger showing that charg-
ing is complete when the battery is
only partially charged. Remove and
reinsert the battery to begin charg-
ing again.
Use the charger with compatible
batteries only. Unplug when not in
use.

Servicing the Camera and Accessories
The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon
recommends that the camera be inspected by the original retailer or
Nikon-authorized service representative once every one to two years,
and that it be serviced once every three to five years (note that fees
apply to these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particu-
larly recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accesso-
ries regularly used with the camera, such as lenses, should be included
when the camera is inspected or serviced.
