Installing the Batteries
Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period of
time. This will extend the battery life and prevent camera damage from battery
leaks or corrosion. If the batteries are removed from the camera for more than a
few days, the date and time will be deleted and must be reset.
When using batteries, limit the continuous operation of the color LCD for
previewing pictures to less than 20 minutes. This is particularly true with Lithium
batteries. Previewing pictures requires a significant electrical current, which over
time could cause your batteries to heat up significantly. Should your camera
become too hot inside, it is designed with protective circuitry to turn itself off.
You should allow sufficient time for the camera to cool before turning it on again.
Consider using an AC Adapter for KODAK DC200 Series Digital Cameras when
using Preview mode for extended periods. Always follow your battery
manufacturer directions fully.
