The battery pack needs to be charged with battery charger the first time you use the camera, when the battery icon displays, or when the "Change the battery pack" message is displayed.

Note:

• The battery pack utilizes lithium ion cells, avoiding the need to completely use or discharge the battery charge before recharging it. You may recharge the battery at any charge state without permanently reducing its capacity.
• It takes approximately 130 minutes to charge a battery pack fully from a fully discharged state (based on standard Canon testing conditions). Please charge it at an ambient temperature ranging between 5 and 40 ºC (41 and 104 ºF).
• Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature and the charge state of the battery pack.
• To protect and prolong the life of the battery pack, do not charge it for longer than 24 hours at a time.

To charge the battery pack:

1. Insert the battery pack all the way into the charger and plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
2. The charging indicator will glow orange while the battery pack is charging. It will change to a steady green when the charge is complete.
3. After charging, unplug the battery charger and remove the battery pack from it.
