The battery charger 1, 2<br />

The battery charger unit is supplied with five plug attachments to<br />

suit various types of domestic electrical sockets available worldwide.<br />

Other types of socket will require a domestic socket converter.<br />

Attach the chosen plug (fig 2, A) by sliding into position, ensuring<br />

that the two electrical contact prongs on the charger correctly<br />

enter the two contact sockets on the plug attachment. Removal is<br />

by the reverse procedure.<br />

Charging the battery<br />

If attached, remove the protective cover (fig. 3, B) from the battery<br />

by pulling outwards and upwards on the locking clip. Replace the<br />

cover after charging if you do not intend to attach the battery to<br />

a camera immediately.<br />

With the battery grip removed from the camera, insert the jack<br />

plug from the battery charger into the socket (fig. 4, C) on the battery<br />

grip. Insert the battery charger into a standard (100–240V~<br />

/50–60 Hz) domestic socket. The red LED indicator on the battery<br />

charger signifies the following:<br />

On (not flashing) = battery is charging<br />

Slow flashing (0.8 Hz) = charging is complete and condition is being<br />

maintained.<br />

Or occasionally<br />

Rapid flashing (3 Hz) = deeply discharged battery is charging<br />

(with reduced current)<br />

Please note that rapid flashing of the LED indicator is not to be<br />

expected. The battery will not normally be so deeply discharged<br />

because the camera will shut down automatically before complete<br />

battery discharge takes place. The indicator might also flash rapidly<br />

for a few moments in some instances when the charger is connected<br />

to the electrical supply.<br />

The normal indication is therefore either ‘not flashing’ or ‘slow<br />

flashing’.<br />

Attaching the battery to the camera<br />

The rechargeable battery grip is attached and removed in the same<br />

manner as the standard battery grip.<br />

Please note if you want to use the rechargeable battery with an H1<br />

model, the firmware in the camera must be version 8.2.2 or later<br />

for the battery grip to function properly.<br />

Rechargeable battery grip – general<br />

• The battery should be charged before first time use.<br />

• Maximum battery capacity is reached only after the battery has been charged<br />

and discharged several times.<br />

• The battery is an environmentally approved Li-ion type and has no ‘memory effect’<br />

of practical importance. This means the battery can be charged before it is fully<br />

discharged without loss of capacity or performance.<br />

• The battery should be charged at an ambient temperature of 10 −30° C.<br />

• When removing a battery from the charger and immediately replacing it with<br />

another, allow a few seconds to elapse so that the charger can automatically reset<br />

for the next charging procedure.<br />

• It is perfectly normal for the battery to become warm when being charged.<br />

• A slight temporary loss of battery performance might be noticed at very high or<br />

low temperatures. Take the approriate measures if this is the case.
