Caring for the Product
Charging an Exhausted Battery
Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may result
in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.
Storing the Battery
•
Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not
being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in the
camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and complete
loss of function.
•
Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before
returning it to storage.
•
Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place. The
battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C
(59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
Battery Life
A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at room
temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new battery.
Recycling Used Batteries
Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource.
Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other
than EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially
available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

The EH-73P/EH-73PCH is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical
outlets. When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available)
as necessary. For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel
