Charging the Battery
First Steps
The CHARGE lamp status and description of each status are as follows.
3Unplug the charger.
Remove the battery and unplug the charger.
BNote on the Battery Charger
Be sure to read and follow the warnings for the battery charger on pages iii and iv before using the 
battery charger.
The supplied battery charger is for use only with a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL11. Do not use 
with incompatible batteries.
When recharging the battery, the ambient temperature should be 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °F).
The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). The 
rechargeable capacity of the battery may tend to decrease when the battery temperature is from 
0 °C to 15 °C (32 °F to 59 °F) and from 45 °C to 60 °C (113 °F to 140 °F).
BNote on the Battery
Be sure to read and follow the warnings for the battery on page iii and the section, “The Battery” 
(A135), before using the battery.
CNote on AC power supply
Using the EH-62E (A132) AC Adapter allows you to supply power from a wall outlet to the COOLPIX 
S560. Do not, under any circumstances, use an AC adapter other than the EH-62E.
Connecting another model of AC Adapter cannot recharge the battery.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or damage to the camera.
