Getting Started
The HP Photosmart R-series camera dock allows you to easily
download images to your computer, print images directly to a
printer, recharge the camera battery and a spare battery at the
same time, and display images on a television (TV). You can
use the dock remote control just as you would use a TV remote
control, with the added ability to rotate, magnify, and print
images (if the dock is connected to a printer). You can also use
the remote control to navigate the camera menus and use the
HP Instant Share feature (see your camera User’s Manual).
Setting Up the Dock
1Attach the dock insert. One or
more clear plastic dock inserts
came in the box with your dock.
Each of these dock inserts has a
colored sticker on it. See Chapter
1 of your camera User's Manual
to determine which dock insert to
use, and attach that insert to the
top of the camera dock by
snapping it into place as shown in
the picture.
To remove the insert, press your
thumb against the inside of the
insert at the end of the insert that is closest to the end of the
dock (1) and push the end of the insert out (2) to release it.

2Connect the TV, AC power adapter, and USB cables to the
right-hand side of the dock.
#Icon Description
1 Connect the dock to a TV using the audio/video
cable with the part number C6324-61601.
Connect the yellow connector to the video input,
and the red connector to the audio input on your
TV, VCR, or DVD player.
2 Connect the AC power adapter to the DC IN
connector on the dock, plug the power cord into the
AC power adapter, and plug the power cord into a
wall outlet. If more than one power cord is in the
box, use the cord that is appropriate for power
outlets in your country. The AC power adapter for
the dock is the same as the one used for your R-
series camera. If no power adapter came with your
dock, use the one that came with your camera.
3 Connect the dock to your computer or printer using
the appropriate USB cable. You cannot connect the
dock to both a computer and a printer at the same
time.
The USB cable to use for connecting to a computer
or a non-HP printer is part number C8887–80003,
and it came in the box with the dock.
The USB cable to use for connecting to an HP
printer is part number Q2164-61600 (or 8121-
0807), and it came in the box with your camera.

3Remove any cables that may
be attached to your camera.
Then, insert the camera into the
camera dock as shown here.
The back of the camera must
point toward the edge of the
dock with the two buttons.
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.)
