be attached to your camera. 
Then, insert the camera into the 
camera dock as shown here.

Charging a Spare 
Battery
Insert a spare rechargeable lithium ion battery into the dock 
recharging bay door with the arrows on the top of the battery 
(1) pointing toward the door, as shown in the picture.
Push the battery into the 
recharging bay until the slide 
knob (2) snaps down. (The slide 
knob must be pushed up to 
remove the battery.) Make sure 
the spare battery charging light 
(see page 9) begins blinking.
Caution Read Battery Safety 
Precautions on page 20 carefully before recharging lithium ion 
batteries.
The first time that you use a rechargeable battery, be sure that 
you charge it fully before using it in your camera. It may take 
up to 2.5 hours to fully charge a new battery in the dock, or 
3.5 hours to charge a fully depleted battery. You can charge a 
battery in the camera while simultaneously charging a battery 
in the dock, but the battery in the dock will charge more 
quickly than the battery in the camera. (See Battery Charge 
Times on page 20 for details.)
