◗ Replace all three batteries at the same time.
◗ If you use rechargeable NiCd batteries, replace them
with three fully charged batteries. If you find that your
batteries run out faster after you recharge them a
number of times, make sure you discharge them
completely before recharging.
◗ If the rechargeable batteries are charged in a hot
environment, or if they are charged repeatedly without
being fully discharged, they will wear out more quickly.
◗ Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, or mutilate
batteries. Do not get them wet or expose them to fire.
◗ When the camera is not used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature
in a dry location. Store away from the reach of children.
◗ To avoid fire or electric shock, do not use batteries that
are leaking or damaged in any way.
◗ If battery acid gets in your eyes or on your skin,
immediately rinse the area with water and seek medical
treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical
treatment immediately.
◗ Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with all
applicable laws. Contact your local government agency
for information about battery recycling and disposal.
◗ Battery life varies depending on the battery type and the
manufacturer.
Using the Optional AC Adapter
To save battery power, you can use the optional AC adapter.
This is especially useful when you are transferring pictures
and operating the camera from your computer (see
Chapter 3).
The AC adapter allows you to connect your PhotoPC 550 to
any standard 110/120V electrical outlet. The adapter powers
the camera but does not charge the batteries.
The AC adapter (product code B867038) should be available
where you bought your PhotoPC 550. You can also order it
from EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 (U.S. sales
only). In Canada, call (800) 873-7766 for dealer referral.
