Extending Battery Life
!
Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Using Quickview (see
page 24
and
page 46
).
– Excessive use of the flash.
!
Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see
page 81
).
The camera dock 6000 powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is also
a battery charger for the Li-Ion battery included with your camera.
!
Purchase an optional Kodak 5-volt AC adapter to power your camera, or
use the one packaged with the Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see
page 88
).
!
Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 6000 (see
page 80
).
The printer dock 6000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or
without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for the
Li-Ion battery included with your camera.
!
Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
!
Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41
°
F (5
°
C).
Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep
them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they
return to room temperature, they may be usable.
Battery Safety and Handling
!
Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
