• We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of 
between 10 to 30°C (50 to 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently 
charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range.
Notes
• Connect the battery charger to an easily accessible wall outlet (wall socket) close by.
• Even if the CHARGE lamp is not lit, the battery charger is not disconnected from the 
AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket). If 
some trouble occurs while using the battery charger, immediately shut off the power 
by disconnecting the plug from the 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” M 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.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, this may indicate a battery error or that a battery 
pack other than the specified type have been installed. Check that the battery pack is 
the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, 
replace it with 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.
• 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-VQ900AM 
AC Adaptor/charger (not supplied) in any country or region where the 
power supply is within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Use a commercially 
available AC plug adaptor [a], if necessary, depending on the design of the 
wall outlet (wall socket) [b].
Note
• Do not use an electronic transformer (travel converter), as this may cause a 
malfunction.
