Inserting Batteries 3 Remove the batteries and unplug the charger from the power outlet. Preparation for Shooting k EN-MH1 Batteries Charge EN-MH1 batteries before using them for the first time. Charge and use as a set: do not charge batteries one at a time or combine batteries from different pairs. Note that the batteries may tend to discharge more quickly when new or after a long period of disuse. The batteries will retain their charge longer once they have been exhausted and recharged several times. "Memory" effects that result in reduced battery capacity can be avoided by periodically refreshing the batteries. k Refreshing Nikon EN-MH1 Rechargeable NiMH Batteries Two EN-MH1 rechargeable NiMH batteries and an MH-71 battery charger are provided with the camera in some regions and are also available separately (c 103). NiMH batteries may suffer a temporary drop in capacity if charged after long periods of disuse or before being fully discharged. They will return to normal after being refreshed a few times as described below. 1 Insert both batteries into the charger. 2 Press the REFRESH button until the REFRESH lamp lights and close the lid. The REFRESH lamp turns off when the batteries are fully discharged. The batteries can now be removed or left in the MH-71 to recharge. Unplug the charger after removing the batteries. To resume charging before the batteries are fully discharged, or to refresh the batteries once charging has begun, press the REFRESH button for about two seconds. Batteries that retain a charge for only short periods after being refreshed have reached the end of their working lives and can no longer be used. 11
