QuickStart Guide

PREPARING THE CAMERA FOR USE

Before you begin using your Olympus Digital Camera…

Charging the battery

The Digital Camera uses an Olympus Lithium ion battery (LI-10B) and dedicated charger (LI-

10C). This is the only battery/charger designed for use with the Digital Camera. The battery

cannot be charged while in the camera.

Note: The Lithium ion battery is not fully charged when the camera is

purchased. You must fully charge the battery using the charger before first use.

• Insert the Lithium ion battery into the charger as indicated in the illustration.

• Connect the battery charger AC cable as shown to a standard wall outlet.

• To fully charge the battery requires approximately 2 hours. The charge indicator light will be red

when charging, and will turn green when the charging process is complete.

Loading the battery

Note: The battery and xD-Picture card compartments are accessed by opening the

respective compartment covers.

• Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, and lift

open the cover as shown in the illustration. (the direction indicated by the

slide the cover while pressing the mark.

side of the viewfinder are off. Return the camera to the upright position

is available in a variety of memory capacities. The pictures you take

with the camera remain on the xD-Picture Card even when the

camera is turned off and/or the battery is removed.
