Introduction—First Steps
10
Read Battery Warnings
Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
Alternative Power Sources
In addition to the rechargeable Nikon EN-EL1 Li-
ion battery included with your camera, the
COOLPIX4500 can be used with non-rechargeable
2CR5 (DL245) lithium batteries, available at a va-
riety of retail outlets. To power your camera con-
tinuously for extended periods, use an EH-21 AC
adapter/battery charger or EH-53 AC adapter (both
available separately).
Step 2—Insert the Battery
Your Nikon digital camera takes a single rechargeable Nikon EN-EL1 lithium-
ion battery (provided) or non-rechargeable 2CR5 (DL245) lithium battery (avail-
able separately).

.1 Charge the battery
The EN-EL1 is not fully charged at shipment. A battery charger is pro-
vided with the camera; we recommend that you charge the battery
before use. Instructions for charging the battery may be found in the
instruction manual included with the charger.

If the camera is on a tripod, you will need to
remove the tripod before opening the cover.
