D Charging the Battery Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages viii-x and 245-247 of this manual. Charge the battery indoors at ambient temperatures of 5 °C-35 °C (41 °F-95 °F). Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F; failure to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance. Capacity may be reduced and charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0 °C/32 °F to 15 °C/ 59 °F and from 45 °C/113 °F to 60 °C/140 °F. The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). If the CHARGE lamp flashes quickly (about eight times a second) during charging, confirm that the temperature is in the correct range and then unplug the charger and remove and reinsert the battery. If the problem persists, cease use immediately and take battery and charger to your retailer or a Nikon-authorized service representative. Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use. A Battery Level Battery level is shown in the information display (if the battery is low, a warning will also be displayed in the viewfinder).
