8 Using the KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Dock

Charging the Battery Pack

The batteries in the Battery Pack are not charged when you receive it.

  1. Turn off the camera.

  2. Make sure the Battery Pack is installed in the camera.

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

    • Charging begins after a few seconds.

    • The Camera Dock light glows red while charging, then glows green when the Battery Pack is charged.

    • Charging takes about 2.5 hours. After the Battery Pack is charged, leave the camera in the Camera Dock. It continually senses battery power and resumes charging whenever necessary. Under these conditions, there is no red light while charging.

    • 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 automatic power down mode (see Automatic Powerdown Saves Batteries).

NOTE: The Camera Dock only charges the KODAK EASYSHARE Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack. If you place the camera in the Camera Dock with any other type of batteries, no charging takes place.

Important Charging Information

Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries may not charge to full capacity the first time they are charged or after a long period of non-use.

The first-time charge of the KODAK EASYSHARE Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack should take approximately 2 1/2 hours. If the Camera Dock light turns green, indicating a full charge, in less than two hours, repeat the charge cycle as follows:

  1. When the light turns green, remove the camera from the Camera Dock.

  2. Replace the camera on the Camera Dock and repeat step 1 until the combined charge time is 2 1/2 hours.


Subsequent charges of the Battery Pack will not require multiple charging cycles unless left uncharged for a long period of time (longer than two months).
