Using the Battery Charger
To ensure that you have a constant supply of freshly charged batteries, a battery 
charger and four AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are provided. These batteries 
need to be charged before using and take up to eight hours to fully charge. So that 
you are always prepared to take pictures, it is a good idea to have one set of 
rechargeable batteries in the camera, and an extra set charged, ready for use. You 
can purchase additional KODAK Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries as an accessory. 
For details about available accessories, ask a dealer of KODAK products, or visit 
our Website at http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
1
Verify that you are loading Ni-MH 
rechargeable batteries.
This charger is for charging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH 
batteries only, with a maximum of 4 cells, and 
a maximum charge of 1450mAH.
Do not attempt to charge nonrechargeable 
batteries.
2
Align the positive and negative ends of the 
batteries with the positive and negative contact 
points in the charger, respectively.
3
Insert the batteries into the charger until the 
batteries snap in place.
4
Plug the charger into a power outlet.
Depending on where you live, some battery 
chargers are supplied with power plugs that 
are not attached to the charger. If you have that 
type of charger, use the plug that matches your 
power outlet.
5
Verify that the charge indicator lights on the 
charger turn on. If the lights do not turn on, 
verify that the batteries are inserted correctly.
Batteries are fully charged when the charge 
indicator lights on the charger turn off, or after 
8 hours of charging. 
6
Unplug the charger and remove the batteries 
when charging is complete.
