Nikon Coolpix P5000 - First Steps; Charging the Battery

First Steps 9
First Steps
Charging the Battery
The camera uses a rechargeable EN-EL5 Li-ion battery (supplied). Charge the
battery with the supplied MH-61 battery charger before first use or when the
battery is running low.
1
Plug the charger in
Connect the power cable to the charger (c) and
then plug it into a power outlet (
d). The
CHARGE lamp will light (e).
2
Insert the battery
Remove the battery terminal cover and insert
the battery as shown, matching the projections
on the battery to the indentations in the charger.
3
Charge the battery
The CHARGE lamp will blink as the battery
recharges. (If the lamp flickers rapidly, either the
temperature is not in the range of 5–35°C/41–
95°F supported by the charger or the battery is
faulty. If the battery is faulty, unplug the charger
immediately and bring the battery and charger
to a Nikon-authorized service representative for
inspection.) A fully-exhausted battery will
charge in about two hours.
Charging is complete when the CHARGE lamp
stops blinking. Remove the battery and unplug
the charger.
