PREPARING THE CAMERA FOR USE

Before you begin using your Olympus Digital Camera…

Charging the battery

The Digital Camera uses an Olympus Lithium ion battery (LI-10B) and dedicated charger (LI-
10C). This is the only battery/charger designed for use with the Digital Camera. The battery
cannot be charged while in the camera.

Note: The Lithium ion battery is not fully charged when the camera is

purchased. You must fully charge the battery using the charger before first use.

• Insert the Lithium ion battery into the charger as indicated in the illustration.
• Connect the battery charger AC cable as shown to a standard wall outlet.
• To fully charge the battery requires approximately 2 hours. The charge indicator light will be red

when charging, and will turn green when the charging process is complete.

Loading the battery

respective compartment covers.

• Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, and lift

open the cover as shown in the illustration. (the direction indicated by the

camera is turned off and/or the battery is removed.
