Operating with NiCd, NiMH or lithium batteries
You can also operate the camera using standard batteries. If you use
rechargeable batteries, do not let them charge up in the camera while using
a mains adapter. Use an external charging device for this purpose.
We recommend that you use batteries, because this improves the
performance of the camera and increases the operating time.
Mains operation
(with mains adapter, 3,3 V DC/2A – accessories)
Note:
Check if the mains voltage on the mains adapter type plate corresponds to
your local mains supply.
The only way to disconnect the camera from the mains supply is to pull the
mains adapter. Only unplug the mains adapter from the socket when you
are not using the camera.
1Plug the mains adapter cable into the »DC « socket on the camera.
2Insert the mains adapter plug in the socket.
