• To protect the battery and keep it in optimal condition, do
not charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.
• For battery chargers that use a power cord, do not attach
the charger or cord to other objects. Doing so could result
in malfunction or damage to the product.
• For details on charging time and the number of shots and recording
time possible with a fully charged battery, see Number of Shots/
Recording Time, Playback Time (=
320).
• Charged batteries gradually lose their charge, even when they are
not used. Charge the battery on (or immediately before) the day of
use.
• The charger can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power
(50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a
commercially available adapter for the plug. Never use an electrical
transformer designed for traveling, which may damage the battery.
