Using the EASYSHARE LS443 Camera Dock

The KODAK EASYSHARE LS443 Camera Dock makes it easy to transfer your pictures and videos to the computer.

The Camera Dock is also a rapid battery charger for the included KODAK Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery, and supplies power to the camera. To keep the battery charged, store your camera in the Camera Dock.

Connecting the Camera Dock

After the KODAK EASYSHARE Software is loaded (see WINDOWS System Requirements ), connect the Camera Dock to your computer and to an external power source. You need:

  • The USB cable included with your camera

  • The AC power adapter, 5V included with the Camera Dock

IMPORTANT: Make sure your camera is NOT in the Camera Dock when you are connecting to power and the computer.


  1. Plug the labeled end of the USB cable into the labeled USB port on your computer. See your computer User's Guide for details.

  2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the square USB connector on the back of the Camera Dock.

  3. Plug the 5V AC adapter into the round power connector on the back of the Camera Dock and into a power outlet.


IMPORTANT: Use only the 5V AC adapter included with the Camera Dock. Other adapters may cause damage to your camera, Camera Dock, or computer.

Docking the Camera

To transfer pictures and videos from the camera to the computer, or to charge the battery:
  1. Turn off the camera.


  2. Place the camera in the Camera Dock and push down to seat the connector.

The Power/Transfer light glows green when the camera is properly seated.

The camera is now powered by the Camera Dock.

NOTE: If the battery requires charging, the Camera Dock immediately begins charging.

Transferring Pictures and Videos

To transfer pictures and videos from your camera to your computer:
  1. Place the camera in the Camera Dock. The camera can be on or off.

If the battery is being charged, charging pauses, then resumes after pictures and videos are transferred.

  2. Press the Connect button.

The Power/Transfer light blinks green while pictures and videos transfer.

  3. For details on printing and emailing, see the Quick Start Guide or the KODAK EASYSHARE Software Help.

NOTE: After transferring pictures and videos, leave the camera in the Camera Dock. Eight minutes after the transfer is complete, the Camera Dock resumes charging as necessary.

Caution When Using a Tripod

Do not connect a tripod to the Camera Dock. Remove the camera from the Camera Dock and connect the tripod directly to the camera.

Charging the Battery

The battery is not charged when you receive it.

  1. Turn off the camera.

  2. Make sure the battery is installed in the camera (see Loading the Battery).

  3. Place the camera in the Camera Dock (see Docking the Camera).

    • Charging begins immediately.

    • The red light indicates charging in progress. (See Camera Dock Light Status for other Camera Dock light information.)

    • Full charging takes about 3 hours. After the battery is fully charged, leave the camera in the Camera Dock to maintain the full charge.

    • Charging stops if you turn on the camera. If the camera is left in the Camera Dock with the power on, charging resumes when the camera enters Auto Power-off (see Power-Saving Features).

    • Charging pauses if you press the Connect button on the Camera Dock. Charging resumes after pictures and videos are transferred.

NOTE: The Camera Dock only charges the provided KODAK EASYSHARE Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery.
