Docking and charging your EasyShare digital camera

The Kodak EasyShare printer dock is compatible with Kodak EasyShare CX/DX6000/7000 series and LS600/700 series digital cameras.

Docking your camera lets you make prints directly from the camera, transfer pictures from the camera to the computer, and charge the camera battery.

  1. Make sure a dock insert is installed on the printer dock (see Installing the custom camera insert), and a dock-rechargeable battery is installed in the camera (see Choosing the right camera battery).


  2. On the camera bottom, find the dock connector and locator hole .


  3. Place the camera in the printer dock, making sure to align the dock connector and locator hole with the camera connector and locator pin . Push down to seat the connector.

The camera is now powered by the printer dock instead of the camera battery.

  • The Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack and the Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery charge up to 3 hours.


  • The Battery charging lights turn on as charging progresses. Charging is complete when all three lights are lit.

  • You may leave the camera in the printer dock to maintain the charge.

Refreshing the Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack

If you are getting fewer than 20 pictures per charge with your Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack, follow the tips under Extending battery life. If these don't help, the battery pack needs to be refreshed. The refresh cycle completely discharges the battery pack, then fully recharges it.

NOTE: A full refresh cycle can take up to 8 hours, depending on how much charge is left in your battery pack. For best results, refresh the battery pack overnight; do not interrupt the discharge/recharge cycle.

  1. Make sure the Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack is in the camera.

  2. Place the camera in the printer dock (see Docking and charging your EasyShare digital camera).


  3. Press and hold the Battery charging lights/Refresh button, , until the Battery charging lights begin flashing green (approximately 5 seconds).

The charging lights monitor the refresh status:

Descending blinking green lights

Discharging battery pack (lights turn off as discharging progresses).

Ascending steady green lights

Charging battery pack (lights turn on as charging progresses).

Charging is complete when all three lights are lit.

NOTE: Refreshing only works with the Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
