Loading the batteries (Cont.)
The following types of batteries or AC adapter can be used. Choose the
power source best suited to the situation.
Lithium battery pack (Not rechargeable)
Since the CR-V3 lithium battery pack has an exceptionally long service
life, it is convenient when traveling. Do not peel off the label on the lithium
battery pack. If an insulating sticker is attached on its terminals, remove
only that sticker before use.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable batteries)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. In addition, the
low-temperature resistance makes them a good choice for cold areas.
AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline
batteries, which are easy to obtain anywhere. However, the number of
pictures that you can store in the camera may vary considerably with AA
alkaline batteries, depending on the battery manufacturer, camera
shooting conditions, etc. Use this type of battery only when you have no
other choices available. Turn off the monitor whenever possible to save
power when using AA alkaline batteries.
AC adapter
An optional Olympus CAMEDIA-brand AC adapter allows you to power
your digital camera from a common AC wall outlet. Be sure to use the
specified AC adapter. Using of an AC adapter is recommended for time-
consuming tasks such as image uploads to a PC.
Use an AC adapter designed to operate on the AC voltage in the region
the camera is being used.
Consult your nearest Olympus dealer or Service center for details.
