Getting Started—First Steps

Battery — Cautions
• When using the EN-EL1 rechargeable battery, read and follow all warning
and instructions supplied with the battery. When inserting the battery, be sure
to refer to “Caring for the Camera and Battery” (
160).
• Note that on some occasions when an exhausted battery is reinserted into
the camera, the “battery exhausted” icon may fail to appear in the control
panel and monitor or viewfinder.
• The battery may be hot after use. Turn the camera off and wait for the bat-
tery to cool down before removing the battery.
• When using a tripod, the camera must be removed from the tripod before
the battery can be exchanged.
The Clock Battery
The camera’s internal clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable
power source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is installed
or the camera powered by an AC adapter (available separately). After charg-
ing for about ten hours, this power source can provide roughly three days of
back-up power. If the main battery has been removed for an extended period,
or removed before charging is complete, a flashing icon may appear in the
monitor, indicating that the clock needs to be reset (
20).
Removing the Battery
The battery can be removed without affecting pictures stored on the memory
card.
Alternative Power Sources
Besides the Nikon EN-EL1, the COOLPIX5700 can use
non-rechargeable 2CR5 (DL245) lithium batteries,
available at a variety of retail outlets. To power your
camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-
53 AC adapter or EH-21 AC adapter/battery charger
(both available separately). The MB-E5700 battery
pack (available separately), which takes six ordinary
LR6 (AA) batteries, can also be used to power the cam-
era for extended periods.
