This is typical of this type of battery, and is not a malfunction. If this happens, repeatedly using up the battery fully, and then recharging it, should correct the problem. • If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are dirty, the batteries may not be charged properly. Occasionally clean the poles of the batteries and the terminals of the charger by wiping them with a dry cloth. • When transporting the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, be sure to use the battery case (supplied with the DSC-P43). If the +/- metal terminals are shorted, there is a possibility of danger from excessive heat or fire. • Even when Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are not being used they lose their charge naturally over time. It is recommended that you recharge the batteries just before using them. • If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries before fully using up the existing charge, the so-called memory effect* can occur, and the low battery warning will be triggered sooner than expected. Charging the battery after fully depleting the existing charge should correct the problem. * The "memory effect" - the situation in which a battery temporarily accepts a less than full charge. • To use up the batteries completely, put the camera in the slide show mode (page 61) and leave it that way until the batteries are used up. • Do not peel off the external seals or damage the batteries. Never use batteries from which the seals have been partially or completely removed, or batteries that have been split in any way. These may cause leakage, explosion, or heat-up of the battery, and personal scald or injury may be caused. These may cause a malfunction of the battery charger.

On handling of batteries
Notes on the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries
•
At the time of purchase, or when the
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries have not
been used for a long time, they may not
fully charge. This is typical of this type
of battery, and is not a malfunction. If
this happens, repeatedly using up the
battery fully, and then recharging it,
should correct the problem.
•
If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries are dirty, the batteries may not be
charged properly. Occasionally clean the poles
of the batteries and the terminals of the charger
by wiping them with a dry cloth.
•
When transporting the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries, be sure to use the battery case
(supplied with the DSC-P43). If the +/- metal
terminals are shorted, there is a possibility of
danger from excessive heat or fire.
•
Even when Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are
not being used they lose their charge naturally
over time. It is recommended that you recharge
the batteries just before using them.
•
If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
before fully using up the existing charge, the
so-called memory effect* can occur, and the
low battery warning will be triggered sooner
than expected. Charging the battery after fully
depleting the existing charge should correct the
problem.
*
The “memory effect” – the situation in which a
battery temporarily accepts a less than full
charge.
•
To use up the batteries completely, put the
camera in the slide show mode (page 61) and
leave it that way until the batteries are used up.
•
Do not peel off the external seals or damage the
batteries. Never use batteries from which the
seals have been partially or completely
removed, or batteries that have been split in any
way. These may cause leakage, explosion, or
heat-up of the battery, and personal scald or
injury may be caused. These may cause a
malfunction of the battery charger.
