• When the CHARGE lamp flashes fast, remove the battery pack being 
charged, and then insert the same battery pack into the battery charger 
securely again. When the CHARGE lamp flashes fast again, this may 
indicate a battery error or that a battery pack other than the specified type 
has been inserted. Check that the battery pack is the specified type. If the 
battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with 
a new one or another one and check if the battery charger operates 
correctly. If the battery charger operates correctly, a battery error may 
have occurred.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes slowly, it indicates that the battery 
charger stops charging temporarily on standby. The battery charger stops 
charging and enters the standby status automatically when the 
temperature is outside of the recommended operating temperature. When 
the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the battery 
charger resumes charging and the CHARGE lamp lights up again. We 
recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of 
between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
Notes
• Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket).
• When charging is finished, disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall 
outlet (wall socket), and remove the battery pack from the battery charger. If you 
leave the charged battery pack on the charger, battery life may be decreased.
• Do not charge any battery pack other than the “InfoLITHIUM” H series battery pack 
in the battery charger (supplied) with your camera. Batteries other than the specified 
kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a risk of 
injury from electrocution and burns.
• If the battery charger is dirty, charging may not be performed successfully. Clean the 
battery charger with dry cloth, etc.
To use your camera abroad — Power sources
You can use your camera and the battery charger and the AC-PW10AM 
AC Adaptor (sold separately) in any country or region where the power 
supply is within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Note
• Do not use an electronic transformer (travel converter), as this may cause a 
malfunction.
