    34
     NOTE 
    The AC adaptor is designed for operation on power
    ranging from 100V AC to 240V AC. Note, however,
    that the shape of the power cord plug varies
    according to country or geographic area. It is up to
    you to find out if the shape of the AC adaptor power
    cord plug is compatible with local power outlets when
    traveling abroad.
    Never use the AC adaptor with a voltage converter.
    2.Turn off the camera.
    3.Set the camera onto
    the USB cradle.
    Do not place the camera
    onto the USB cradle
    while it is turned on.
    The [CHARGE] lamp
    on the USB cradle
    should turn red,
    indicating that charging
    has started. When
    charging is complete,
    the [CHARGE] lamp
    will turn green.
    It takes about 120 minutes to achieve a full charge.
    Actual charging time depends on current battery
    capacity and charging conditions.
     NOTE 
    The bundled AC adaptor is designed for operation
    with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V
    AC. Note, however, that the shape of the AC power
    cord plug varies according to country or geographic
    area. If you plan to use the AC adaptor in a
    geographic area where the power receptacle shape
    is different from that in your area, replace the AC
    power cord with one of the other ones that comes
    with the camera, or purchase a commercially
    available AC power cord that is compatible with the
    power outlets in that area.
    Never use the AC adaptor with a voltage converter.

    If the [CHARGE] lamp starts flashing red, it means
    that an error occurs while charging. An error can be
    caused by any of the following: a problem with the
    USB cradle, a problem with the camera, or a problem
    with the battery or how it is loaded. Remove the
    camera from the USB cradle and see if it works
    normally.
    The only operations that can be performed while the
    camera is on the USB cradle are: battery charging,
    Photo Stand, image output to a TV, and USB data
    communication.4.After charging is complete, remove the
    camera from the USB cradle.
     IMPORTANT! 
    Use only the USB cradle (CA-28) that comes with the
    camera or the optionally available charger (BC-10L)
    to charge the special NP-20 rechargeable lithium ion
    battery. Never use any other charging device.
    Use only the bundled AC adaptor. Never use any
    other type of AC adaptor. Do not use optionally
    available AD-C40, AD-C620 and AD-C630 AC
    adaptors with this camera.
    Make sure that the camera connector of the USB
    cradle is securely inserted into the camera’s
    connector as far as it will go.
    The [CHARGE] lamp may remain amber colored and
    the charge operation may not start right away if you
    try to charge immediately after using the camera
    (which causes battery to become warm) or when it is
    too hot or too cold where you are performing the
    charge operation. If this happens, simply wait until
    the battery reaches normal temperature. The
    [CHARGE] lamp will turn red and charging will start
    when the battery temperature returns to the
    allowable charging temperature range.

     Battery Life Guidelines
    The battery life guideline values given below indicate the
    amount of time under the conditions defined below the
    table, until power automatically turns off due to battery
    failure. They do not guarantee that the battery will provide
    the amount of service indicated. Low temperatures and
    continued use reduce battery life.

     If the camera does not work normally
    This can mean there is a problem with how the battery is
    loaded. Perform the following steps.
    1.Remove the battery from the camera and
    check the battery contacts for dirt. If the
    contacts are dirty, wipe them clean with a dry
    cloth.
    2.Check to make sure that the AC adaptor’s
    power cord is connected securely to the
    power outlet and USB cradle.
    If the same symptoms occur again when you place
    the camera on the USB cradle after taking the above
    steps, contact a CASIO authorized service center.

    The above values are based on a new battery starting
    from a full charge. Repeated charging shortens battery
    life.
    Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash,
    zoom and auto focus, and how long you leave power
    turned on.
     Tips to Make the Battery Last Longer
    If you do not need the flash while recording, select (flash off) for the flash mode. See page 61 for more
    information.
    Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features (page
    44) to protect against wasting battery power when you
    forget to turn off the camera. Supported Battery: NP-20 (Rated Capacitance: 700mAh)

    PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
    The battery is designed for use with this CASIO digital
    camera only.
    Use only the USB cradle that comes with the camera or
    the specified optional charger to charge the battery.
    Never use any other type of charger for charging.
    Use of a battery in cold environments shortens the
    operating time you can expect on a full charge. Charge
    the battery in a location where the temperature is in the
    range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Charging outside
    this temperature range can cause charging to take
    longer than normal or even cause charging to fail.
    Very limited operation following a full charge indicates
    that the battery has reached the end of its service life.
    Replace the battery with a new one.
    Never wipe the battery with thinner, benzene, alcohol,
    or other volatile agents or chemically treated rags.
    Doing so can cause deformation of the battery and lead
    to malfunction. Should you ever notice any of the following conditions
    while using, charging, or storing a battery, immediately
    remove it from the camera or charger, and keep it away
    from open flame:
    —Fluid leaking
    —Emission of a strange odor
    —Heat emission
    —Battery discoloration
    —Battery deformation
    —Any other battery abnormality
    If the battery does not achieve full charge after the
    normal charging time has passed, stop charging.
    Continued charging creates the risk of overheating, fire,
    and explosion.
    Battery fluid can damage your eyes. Should battery
    fluid get into your eyes accidentally, immediately rinse
    them with clean tap water and then consult a physician.
    Be sure to read page 33 of this User’s Guide and the
    instructions that come with the optional charger before
    using or charging the battery.
    If the battery is to be used by young children, make
    sure that a responsible adult makes them aware of the
    precautions and proper handling instructions and make
    sure that they handle the battery correctly.
    Should fluid from the battery accidentally get onto
    clothing or your skin, immediately rinse it off with clean
    tap water. Prolonged contact with battery fluid can
    cause skin irritation.
