KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE DC40 Camera
Using a Power Adapter

To save the charge in your batteries, you can plug your camera into an electrical outlet using a specific type of surge-protected power adapter. A power adapter is especially helpful when transferring the pictures to your computer.

You should be able to purchase a custom universal adapter (CAT No. 102 3662) from the retailer who sold you the camera. North American customers can order 120 V input-only adapters (CAT No. 888 9933) on-line. If the retailer does not stock the adapters, call the telephone number listed in Getting Help.

The Apple MACINTOSH PowerBook AC Adapter M4662 for use with the PowerBook 140 or 170 will also work with your camera.

Warning Warning
Using power adapters other than those recommended for use with the DC40 Camera voids the camera's warranty, and may result in fire, electrical shock, or damage to the camera.

To use a power adapter:

  1. Turn off the camera by sliding the lens cover switch to the OFF position.
  2. Lift the rubber tab to uncover the camera's power adapter socket.

  3. Plug the cable end of the power adapter into the socket.
  4. Plug the box end of the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
  5. Turn on the camera by sliding the lens cover switch to the ON position .

Important Important
Make sure that you turn the camera off before disconnecting the power adapter. If you do not turn the camera off first, a capacitor in the camera will stay charged for about an hour. You will not be able to turn on the camera during that period.

If this happens, plug the power adapter back in to the camera, turn the camera on and off again, and then disconnect the power adapter from it. This allows you to use the camera immediately.
