Extending Battery Life

m Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 37) – Using Liveview (see page 20) – Using Quickview (see page 21 and page 34). – Excessive use of the flash
m Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see
page 95).
m Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock II (see page 61). The
camera dock II powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
m Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 4000 (see page 61).
The printer dock 4000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
m Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
m Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C).
Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

Battery Safety and Handling

m Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
m For rechargeable battery disposal information, see the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.
