KODAK DC240/DC280 Zoom Digital Camera
User's Guide
Using the Battery Charger

To ensure that you have a constant supply of freshly charged batteries, a battery charger and four AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are provided with some DC240/DC280 cameras. These batteries need to be charged before using and take up to eight hours to fully charge. So you are always prepared to take pictures, keep one set of rechargeable batteries in the camera, and an extra set charged, ready for use. You can purchase additional KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries as an accessory. For details about available accessories, ask your dealer of Kodak products, or see go/accessories.

1. Verify that you are loading Ni-MH or Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. If they are any other type, do not load them into the charger.

   This charger is for charging Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries only, with a maximum of 4 cells, and a maximum charge of 1450mAH.

   Do not charge nonrechargeable batteries.

2. Align the positive and negative ends of the batteries with the positive and negative contact points in the charger.
3. Insert the batteries into the charger until the batteries snap in place.

   

4. Plug the charger into a power outlet.

   Depending on where you live, some battery chargers are supplied with power plugs that are not attached to the charger. If you have that type of charger, use the plug that matches your power outlet.

5. Verify that the charge indicator lights on the charger turn on. If the lights do not turn on, verify that the batteries are inserted correctly.

   Batteries are fully charged when the charge indicator lights on the charger turn off, or after 8 hours of charging.

6. Unplug the charger and remove the batteries when charging is complete.
