You can use the dock remote control just as you would use a TV remote control, with the added ability to rotate, magnify, and print images (if the dock is connected to a printer). You can also use the remote control to navigate the camera menus and use the HP Instant Share feature (see your camera User's Manual). Setting Up the Dock 1 Attach the dock insert. One or more clear plastic dock inserts came in the box with your dock. Each of these dock inserts has a colored sticker on it. See Chapter 1 of your camera User's Manual to determine which dock insert to use, and attach that insert to the top of the camera dock by snapping it into place as shown in the picture. 1 2 To remove the insert, press your thumb against the inside of the insert at the end of the insert that is closest to the end of the dock (1) and push the end of the insert out (2) to release it. 6 HP Photosmart R-series dock User's Manual 2 Connect the TV, AC power adapter, and USB cables to the right-hand side of the dock. 123 # 1 Icon Description Connect the dock to a TV using the audio/video cable with the part number C6324-61601. Connect the yellow connector to the video input, and the red connector to the audio input on your TV, VCR, or DVD player. Connect the AC power adapter to the DC IN connector on the dock, plug the power cord into the AC power adapter, and plug the power cord into a wall outlet. If more than one power cord is in the box, use the cord that is appropriate for power outlets in your country. The AC power adapter for the dock is the same as the one used for your Rseries camera. If no power adapter came with your dock, use the one that came with your camera. Connect the dock to your computer or printer using the appropriate USB cable. You cannot connect the dock to both a computer and a printer at the same time. The USB cable to use for connecting to a computer or a non-HP printer is part number C8887­80003, and it came in the box with the dock. The USB cable to use for connecting to an HP printer is part number Q2164-61600 (or 81210807), and it came in the box with your camera. 7 2 3 3 Remove any cables that may be attached to your camera. Then, insert the camera into the camera dock as shown here. The back of the camera must point toward the edge of the dock with the two buttons. Charging a Spare Battery Insert a spare rechargeable lithium ion battery into the dock recharging bay door with the arrows on the top of the battery (1) pointing toward the door, as shown in the picture. Push the battery into the recharging bay until the slide knob (2) snaps down. (The slide knob must be pushed up to remove the battery.) Make sure the spare battery charging light (see page 9) begins blinking. 1 2 Caution Read Battery Safety Precautions on page 20 carefully before recharging lithium ion batteries. The first time that you use a rechargeable battery, be sure that you charge it fully before using it in your camera. It may take up to 2.5 hours to fully charge a new battery in the dock, or 3.5 hours to charge a fully depleted battery. You can charge a battery in the camera while simultaneously charging a battery in the dock, but the battery in the dock will charge more quickly than the battery in the camera. (See Battery Charge Times on page 20 for details.) 8 HP Photosmart R-series dock User's Manual Dock Lights and Buttons 1 2 # 1 3 4 Name Description Spare Shows the power/battery charging status.

The NTSC format is used primarily in North America and Japan, and the PAL format is used primarily in Europe. If your TV accepts a different video signal from the default setting for your language, you must change the TV configuration setting in your camera. (See your camera User's Manual.) 3 Your camera will be the source for the TV signal (just like a VCR or a camcorder), so you must set the TV to take video input from an external video source (your camera) instead of the antenna or cable TV. Refer to the TV user's manual for directions on how to do this. 4 Insert the camera into the camera dock. The camera will turn on automatically. 5 Press the TV button on the dock or the dock remote control. The first image in the camera is displayed on the TV. You can use the buttons to manually navigate through a slideshow of the images on the camera, or press to start an automatic slideshow of each image, playing any attached audio clip or video clip, and then changing to the next image. 6 To end the slideshow, press the TV button again. NOTE The Image Display on the camera turns off when the camera is connected to a TV, but you can still use the camera's menus because the menus will display on the TV screen. 13 Using the Remote You can use the dock remote control to pause the slideshow, magnify an image, rotate an image, select an image for HP Instant Share, or mark an image for printing.
