Using The Batteries; Charging The Batteries - Epson PHOTOPC 800 User Manual

Using the Batteries

Your PhotoPC 800 comes with four Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries (Model EU-24) and the Ni-MH
Battery Charger (Model EU-38). Be sure to charge your
new rechargable batteries before installing them in the
camera.
Keep the following points in mind when using these
batteries.
To fully charge new batteries or batteries that
have not been used for a long time, you may have
to charge them two or three times.
Use batteries regularly so that they continue to
charge well. Batteries which have not been used
for a long time will return to normal with regular
use.
Discharge batteries completely before recharging
them. If your batteries are not completely drained
of power, you may not be able to recharge them
fully.
Batteries charged in a hot environment wear out
more quickly.

Getting Started
Do not leave batteries in a camera or charger for
a long time without use. See "Storing the
batteries" on page 1-8 for storage instructions.
Rechargeable batteries wear out with repeated
use; as their charging capacity decreases, your
camera's operating time decreases. Replace the
batteries when their operation time becomes
short.

Charging the batteries

The Ni-MH Battery Charger charges your Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries quickly to last longer in your
camera.
Before charging your batteries, be sure to read the
safety instructions in "When using the charger and
batteries" on page 4.
Warning:
w
Do not mix different types of batteries; this can
cause fire or explosion.
Always use batteries from the same package as
a set. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Follow these steps to charge your Ni-MH batteries.
