The dedicated Rechargeable Battery Pack
Use dedicated Rechargeable Battery Pack EN-1 with this
camera. Take special note of the following.
—The EN-1 contains NiCd batteries.
—The battery pack was not charged when shipped from the factory. Be sure to
futly charge the battery before use.
■Characteristics of the Rechargeable Battery Pack
• The battery will self-discharge even though the battery is unused.
• Typically, the voltage of Battery Pack EN-1 drops quickly when the
battery becomes weak. Be sure to load a fully charged battery
every time you set out to take pictures.
• If the battery is weak or the camera is used in a cold outdoor
environment, the number of available frames decreases. We
recommend that you carry spare fully-charged battery packs when
shooting in a cold environment or taking a large number of
pictures at one sitting.
• Be sure to use the battery charger specified by Nikon.
• After recharging or shooting, the battery pack may become warm.
This is no cause for concern.
■Charging the Rechargeable battery pack
• Be sure to use dedicated Quick Charger EH-1 (EH-2) and read the
instruction manual.
• Use only the Quick Charger EH-1 (EH-2).
• Charging should be made in an ambient temperature ranging from
0°C to 40°C (32°E to 104°E). [Approx. 5°C to 35°C (41°E to 95°E) is
ideal.]
• Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged battery.
• When you recharge a NiCd battery which has not been fully
discharged, the battery develops a “memory effect’’ which may
prevent it from becoming fully recharged with ordinary use. To
help avoid this effect, you should fully discharge the battery once
every 20 to 30 chargings. Please refer to your EH-1 (EH-2)
instruction manual for further details.
■Handling the battery pack safely
• Never touch the battery pack’s metal portion with another metal
object. Although a fuse is built into the battery pack, if the
terminals are short-circuited, damage and malfunction will occur.
• Keep used battery packs away from fire and do not throw batteries
into a fire.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify the battery pack.
