IMPORTANT: · It is normal for the camera to be slightly warm while charging the battery. · Electric current varies for different computers. Some computers may not provide a sufficient charging current. For a full battery charge or when you use the camera away from your computer, we recommend the usage of an AC adapter (included, DC 5V, 800 mA, with a USB plug) to charge the battery. Visit www.polaroid.com for detailed information on an adapter. · For a full battery charge, we recommend turning off the camera before charging the battery. · To get the best performance out of the battery, it is recommended the camera be kept charged at all times. Especially when not in use for a period of time, like over a month or so. · When the camera is connected to a computer, a message may prompt for installing the camera driver. (The message window varies for different Windows® OS) The battery can be charged without installing the driver. Click "Cancel" to close the message window.
