battery fully with the LI-10C charger before use.

Insert the battery into the charger.
 TIPS
 
The LI-12B battery takes approximately 120 minutes to charge.
 Note
 
This camera uses an Olympus LI-12B/LI-10B lithium ion battery. No other 
type of battery can be used.
 
Use only the specified charger.
 
Battery life varies depending on shooting conditions, etc.
 
The charger can be used within the range of AC100V to AC240V (50/60Hz). 
When using the charger abroad, you may need a plug adapter to convert the 
plug to the shape of the AC wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical 
shop or travel agent.
 
Do not use voltage converters sold in stores traveling overseas as this could 
damage your charger.
