112 HP Photosmart E317 User’s Manual
• The performance of all batteries will decrease as the
temperature drops. For best performance in cold
environments, use Energizer Lithium AA batteries. NiMH
batteries may also provide acceptable low temperature
performance. To improve the performance of all battery
types, keep the camera and/or batteries stored in a
warm inside pocket when in a cold environment.
Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending battery life:
• Change the Display Brightness setting in the Setup Menu
to Low, so that the Image Display consumes less power
when in Live View (see Display Brightness on page 66).
• Minimize the use of flash by setting your camera to Auto
Flash, instead of Flash On (see Setting the Flash on
page 32).
• Turn the camera off between shots.
Safety Precautions for Using Batteries
• Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in
the optional HP Photosmart Quick Recharger.
• Do not place a battery in fire or heat the battery.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative
terminal of a battery to each other with any metal object
(such as wire).
• Do not carry or store a battery together with coins,
necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects. Placing an
NiMH battery in contact with coins is especially
dangerous to you! To avoid injury, do not drop this
battery into a coin-filled pocket.
