Attaching the Ferrit÷ to the
AC Adapter Cord
A ferrite is included in the box with your
camera. This ferrite preventsyour camera
from emitting radio frequency energy that
might interfere with the reception ofyour
radio, television, or other electronic devices
which might be near the camera. Theferrite
will not degrade the performance or safety of the camera.
Attach the ferrite to the thin HPAC adapter cord (the cord that
attaches to the camera, not the cord that attaches to the wall) in
the following way:
Wrap the cord around the
ferrite so that the cord
passesthrough the ferrite
three times (as shown here).
2 Adjust the cord so that the edge of the ferrite is 10 cm
(4 inches) from the end of the connector that connects to the
camera (or camera dock).
3 Closethe ferrite so that it
snapssnugly into place
around the cord.

16 HP Photosmart R507/R607 User's Manual

NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than
film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be
measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the
years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also
vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on
what modes the camera is being used in most frequently.
For hints on optimizing Battery performance, see
Appendix A: Managing Batterieson page 151.
