When you press the Power button, the camera performs a brief self-test, then displays a normal LCD panel. If the sound indicators are enabled, the camera also emits a short, high-pitched tone to indicate that it passed the self-test and is ready to take pictures. If the camera detects any problems or errors during its self-test, it displays an error message on the LCD and emits one or two short, low-pitched tones. (For more information about error messages, see Troubleshooting error messages on page 111.
Selecting Capture mode Before taking pictures, make sure the camera is in the Capture mode. If the camera is in the Index mode instead, the word “Index” (a) appears in the LCD panel. Set the mode to Capture by pressing the Index button. Setting the camera for To achieve accurate colors, you must choose the white current lighting conditions balance setting that matches lighting conditions in the scene. Using an incorrect setting can give your pictures an unnatural yellow, blue or green tint.
When either incandescent ( ) or fluorescent ( ) lighting is selected, the appropriate symbol appears on the LCD panel (a). When daylight is selected, no symbol is visible. Holding the camera The PDC-2000 camera is designed so you can easily hold it steady during picture-taking.

6 Maintenance and troubleshooting Caring for the camera batteries The four NiCad “AA” rechargeable batteries provided with the PDC-2000 camera have enough power for taking 40 pictures under normal conditions. The battery level indicator on the PDC-2000 camera’s LCD panel indicates full ( ), low ( ) and other levels between them. Recharge the batteries whenever the indicator shows low battery level. Note: Conserve battery power by turning the camera off when it is not in use.
(Use of a battery conditioner/charger, available at many electronics and video equipment stores, is recommended because it discharges the batteries completely before starting the charge cycle. The power adapter/trickle charger provided with the PDC-2000 does not discharge the batteries before charging them.) You may wish to purchase additional “AA” NiCad batteries for use with the PDC-2000 camera. With extra batteries, you can use one set while charging another.
Charge the batteries completely by leaving the charger connected to the camera for about 6 hours (12 hours for new batteries). You can use the camera while the batteries are charging. WARNING: USE ONLY THE POWER ADAPTER/ TRICKLE CHARGER PROVIDED FOR CHARGING THE BATTERIES WHILE THEY ARE IN THE CAMERA. OTHER AC ADAPTERS AND CHARGERS SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE ARE AVAILABLE, BUT THEY CAN OVERHEAT THE BATTERIES AND CAUSE INJURY OR CAMERA DAMAGE. Maintenance and troubleshooting Downloaded from www.Manualslib.
If you wish to charge the batteries outside the camera, use the optional 110-volt 5-hour battery charger or another charger designed for NiCad “AA” batteries. Charging the batteries outside the camera Recharge the batteries as follows: 1 Turn off the camera by pressing the power button (a). 2 Unlatch and remove the PDC-2000 battery holder from the camera. 3 Remove the four batteries from the holder. 4 Charge the batteries according to the instructions for the charger you are using.
Note: The camera is not operable while the batteries are removed, even if the power adapter/trickle charger is connected. Furthermore, you may need to reset the camera’s date, time, default picture label and automatic shutoff settings if the batteries are removed from the camera for more than 30 minutes. For these reasons, you may want to purchase additional “AA” NiCad batteries for use while others are charging. (See Recommended battery types on page 106.
6 Insert the battery holder in the camera and close it, making sure it latches. 7 Turn on the camera to verify that the batteries have been installed correctly. Replacing the camera batteries The NiCad batteries provided with the PDC-2000 are capable of being recharged hundreds of times, but they may eventually wear out. Replace the batteries when they require abnormally frequent recharging.
Troubleshooting error messages When necessary, the PDC-2000 camera displays error messages on the LCD panel to inform you about operating or hardware problems. The list below recommends specific action for each error message. Error messages not listed below may also appear on the LCD panel. If an unlisted message appears, turn the camera off briefly, then turn it back on. If the message reappears, contact Polaroid Technical Assistance (see page 115).
error 02h The camera detected a problem with the LCD panel. Turn the camera off briefly, then turn it back on. If the message reappears, contact Polaroid Technical Assistance (see page 115). When this condition exists, the camera will continue to operate normally except for the LCD panel. error 04h The camera detected a problem with the hardware storing the current date and time and other data. Turn the camera off briefly, then turn it back on.
