Docking and charging the camera

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

IMPORTANT: To charge your camera battery, your printer dock must be powered by the AC adapter (not the printer battery).

This printer dock is ImageLink print-system compatible. You can dock not only Kodak EasyShare digital cameras, but other brands of ImageLink system-compatible digital devices.

NOTE: Not all cameras are compatible for charging on the G600 printer dock. See your camera user's guide for dock compatibility.

Docking the camera


  1. Attach a custom camera insert to the printer dock (see Attaching the custom camera insert).

  2. Load a Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery KAA2HR, or a Kodak Li-Ion rechargeable digital camera battery into the camera for charging. See your camera user's guide.

NOTE: Your printer dock charges only Kodak Ni-MH KAA2HR and Li-Ion rechargeable batteries.

  3. Place the camera on the printer dock. Push camera down to seat the connector.

The battery status light on the printer dock lights up and an initializing message appears on the camera.

NOTE: If the printer dock is turned off when you dock the camera, the printer dock turns on and initialises.

NOTE: If your printer dock is powered by the printer battery, press the Power button, , to turn on the printer.

Keep the camera strap clear of the paper path at the front and back of the printer dock.

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

Charging the camera

  • For charging, use the AC adapter to power the printer dock. The printer dock will not charge camera batteries when it is powered by its printer battery.

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

  • The Camera battery status light on the printer dock blinks green when the camera battery is charging. Charging is complete when the light stops blinking and glows a steady green (see Printer-dock-status lights on Printer-dock-status lights).

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

NOTE: Charging does not begin immediately after the camera is docked. It may take several minutes before the battery light indicates the charge status.

Refreshing the Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable camera battery

IMPORTANT: The battery refresh feature is intended for use with the Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery KAA2HR only. Li-Ion batteries do not require refreshing.

NOTE: If you are getting fewer than 20 pictures per charge, you may need to refresh the battery. The refresh cycle completely discharges the battery, then fully charges it. See Extending battery life, Extending battery life.

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

  2. Place your EasyShare camera on the printer dock (Docking the camera).

  3. Press and hold the Print Layout button, , and the Red-eye Reduction button, , on the printer dock at the same time until the Battery status light blinks amber (approximately 5 seconds), then release the buttons.
