by sliding the door latch as indicated on the Battery/Memory Card door.

2. Insert the two AA batteries.

3. Close the Battery/Memory Card door.

NOTE: If using rechargeable NiMH batteries, fully

charge the batteries before using them the first time. Turn off the camera before removing the batteries.

The batteries shipped with your camera are AA alkaline. These have a short life and are intended to let you begin using your camera immediately. When the camera warns that the battery charge is low, HP recommends replacing them with Photo Lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries for longer battery life.

This graph shows the approximate average number of pictures you can take using Photo Lithium, NiMH, and Alkaline batteries. Actual performance may vary based on usage, battery type, and battery manufacturer. Many additional factors affect the actual number of pictures you can take (see Extending battery life on page 21).
