Recharge the battery. For LC-E8 • As shown by the arrow, flip out the battery charger's prongs and insert the prongs into a power outlet For LC-E8E • Connect the power cord to the charger and insert the plug into the power outlet. ► Recharging starts automatically and the charge lamp turns orange. ► When the battery is fully recharged. the full-charge lamp will turn green. • It takes approx. 2 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery at 23°C / 73°F. The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and the battery's charge level. • For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (WC - 101C ) 43°F - 50`F) will take a longer time (up to 4 hours). 26 EFTA01126223 Charging the Battery 4, Tips for Using the Battery and Charger • Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged. Recharge the battery before using. • Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it Is to be used. Even during storage. a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its power. • After recharging the battery, detach It and unplug the charger from the power outlet. • When not using the camera, remove the battery. If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life.
