2.3.2. Charging the Battery via AC power adapter
For best battery performance, charge the new battery to full
before first use.
With the battery installed in Picture Porter 35, connect the AC
power adapter to charge the battery.
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge an empty battery.
2.3.3. Charging the Battery via USB Port
You can also charge the Picture Porter 35 battery through the
USB port by connecting it to a computer or USB charging device.
USB power charges at a slower rate than the AC power adapter.
When charging through the USB port, you can turn off the Picture
Porter 35 for faster charging.
Note
: Most computers must be turned on for the USB port to
supply power. Check the documentation for your computer to see
if the USB port can provide power while the computer is off.
