Troubleshooting/Others (Advanced Operations) Battery pack/ Battery charger • The charging time differs depending on the remaining capacity of the battery pack or charging conditions. • We recommend charging the battery pack at an ambient temperature between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range. • Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). • Do not try to charge the battery pack again right after it has been charged, or when it has not been used after being charged. Doing so will affect the performance of the battery pack. • Do not charge any battery pack other than the "InfoLITHIUM" M series battery pack in the battery charger (supplied) with your camera. Batteries other than the specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a risk of injury from electrocution and/or burns. • When the CHARGE lamp flashes, this may indicate a battery error or that a battery pack other than the specified type has been installed. Check that the battery pack is the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with a new or different one and check that the battery charger is operating correctly. If the battery charger operates correctly, a battery error may have occurred. • If the battery charger is dirty, charging may not be performed successfully. Clean the battery charger with a dry cloth, etc. Notes on using the battery pack • Use only an NP-FM500H battery pack. Note that the NP-FM55H, NP-FM50 and NP-FM30 cannot be used. • The displayed battery level may not be correct under certain circumstances. • Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant. • Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight. 207
