Attaching the Ferrite to the AC Adapter Cord

A ferrite is included in the box with your

camera. This ferrite prevents your camera

from emitting radio frequency energy that

might interfere with the reception of your

radio, television, or other electronic devices

which might be near the camera. The fer rite

will not degrade the performance or safety of the camera.

Attach the ferrite to th e thin HP AC adapter cord ( the cord that

attaches to the camer a , not the cor d that attac hes to the w all) in

the following way:

1 Wrap the cord around the

ferri te so th at t he c ord

passes through the ferrite

three times (as sh own here).

2 Adjust the cord so that the edge of the ferrite is 10 cm

(4 inches) from the end of the conn ector that c onnects to the

camera (or camera dock).

3 Close the ferrite so that it

snaps snugly into place

around the cord.

16 HP Photosmart R507/R607 User’s Manual

film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be
