Charging Your Nikon: A Quick Guide To Powering Up Your Camera 3700

The Nikon Coolpix S3700 is a digital camera that comes with a Nikon EH-70P Charging AC Adapter and a UC-16 USB Cable to charge the EN-EL 19 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery while it is inside the camera. The charging time is about 2 hours and 20 minutes for a fully exhausted battery. The power-on lamp slowly flashes green while the battery is charging and turns off when charging is complete. If you are having trouble charging your camera, it could be due to the ambient temperature, a faulty connection, or a damaged battery.

Charging the Nikon Coolpix S3700 battery

To charge the Nikon Coolpix S3700 battery, follow these steps:

Firstly, ensure that you have the correct equipment. The Nikon Coolpix S3700 comes with a Nikon EH-70P Charging AC Adapter and a UC-16 USB Cable to charge the EN-EL 19 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery. Check that you have these items before proceeding.

Next, if a plug adapter is included with your camera, securely connect it to the Charging AC Adapter. The shape of the plug adapter may vary according to the country or region in which the camera was purchased. If the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the Charging AC Adapter, you can omit this step.

Now, with the battery installed in the camera, connect the camera to a power source using the USB cable. Charging will begin automatically, and the charge lamp on the camera will slowly flash green to indicate that the battery is charging.

A fully exhausted battery will take approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to fully charge. Once charging is complete, the charge lamp will turn off.

Note that if the charge lamp quickly flashes green, the battery is not charging, possibly due to one of the following reasons:

• The ambient temperature is not suitable for charging.
• The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.
• The battery is damaged.

If you encounter any of these issues, try resolving them and then restart the charging process.

Using the EH-70P Charging AC Adapter

The Nikon EH-70P AC Adapter Charger is used to charge the Nikon Coolpix S3700 camera. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the EH-70P Charging AC Adapter to charge your camera:

Firstly, ensure that the battery is installed in your camera. The Nikon Coolpix S3700 camera uses the EN-EL19 battery. If you are unsure whether your camera has a battery installed, you can refer to the camera's user manual.

Next, connect the EH-70P Charging AC Adapter to your camera. The adapter should have come with a UC-E6 cable. Connect the cable to the camera, and then plug the adapter into a power outlet.

When the adapter is connected, the charge lamp on the camera should slowly flash green, indicating that the battery is charging. A fully exhausted battery should take around 2 hours and 40 minutes to charge.

If the charge lamp quickly flashes green, this could be due to a few reasons:

• The ambient temperature is not suitable for charging.
• The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.
• The battery is damaged.

If any of these issues occur, try adjusting the temperature, checking your connections, or replacing the battery.

Once charging is complete, the charge lamp will turn off. You can then disconnect the Charging AC Adapter from the power outlet and then disconnect the USB cable from your camera.

It is important to note that the shape of the plug adapter may vary depending on the country or region in which the camera was purchased. Some cameras may have a plug adapter included, while others may have a plug adapter that is permanently bonded to the Charging AC Adapter.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the EH-70P Charging AC Adapter to charge your Nikon Coolpix S3700 camera.

Using the UC-16 USB Cable

The UC-E16 USB cable is compatible with a range of Nikon Coolpix cameras, including the S3700, and can be used for charging and transferring photos.

To charge your Nikon Coolpix S3700 camera using the UC-E16 USB cable, follow these steps:

• Ensure that you have the correct cable. The UC-E16 cable has a standard USB-A connector on one end and a small, rectangular-shaped connector on the other end that plugs into your camera.
• Connect the small end of the UC-E16 cable to your Nikon Coolpix S3700 camera. The camera has a port that is usually located on the side or bottom of the camera.
• Plug the standard USB-A connector into a power source, such as a computer, laptop, or USB wall charger.
• Once connected, the camera's battery will begin charging. The charging time will vary depending on the battery's depletion level, but a fully exhausted battery typically takes around 2 hours and 20 minutes to charge.
• You can check the progress of the charging by observing the power-on lamp on your camera. A slowly flashing green light indicates that the battery is charging, while a solid green light indicates that charging is complete.
• When the battery is fully charged, safely disconnect the UC-E16 cable from your camera and power source.

Note: It is important to use the correct cable for your camera, as using a different cable may result in overheating, fire, or electrical shock. Additionally, always handle the cable with care and avoid inserting or removing the plugs at an angle to prevent damage.

Charging time

The Nikon Coolpix S3700 digital camera comes with a Nikon EH-70P Charging AC Adapter and a UC-16 USB Cable to charge the EN-EL 19 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery while it is inside the camera.

Ensure that the plugs are inserted correctly, checking the shape and direction of the plugs, and avoid inserting or removing them at an angle.

If the power-on lamp quickly flashes green, it indicates that the battery is not charging, which could be due to an unsuitable ambient temperature, improper connections, or a damaged battery.
