We do not recommend or support alkaline batteries. For acceptable
battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, use the
replacement batteries listed above.
Extending battery life
■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 24)
– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder (see page 10)
– Excessive use of the flash
■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5°C). When
using your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them
warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to
room temperature, they may be usable.

Tips, safety, maintenance
■ If water has gotten inside the camera, turn off the camera and remove the
batteries and card. Allow components to air-dry for at least 24 hours
before using the camera again.
■ Rapid temperature changes can cause harmful condensation. Keep your
camera in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature before
removing it from the bag.
■ Blow gently on the lens or camera screen to remove dust and dirt. Wipe
gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do
not use cleaning solutions unless designed specifically for camera lenses.
Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
■ Do not place your camera near equipment such as electric motors. Electro-
magnetic induction may corrupt pictures or cause camera malfunction.
■ Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of
Kodak products for more information.
■ Dispose of batteries according to local and national regulations.
■ For camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities.

FCC compliance and advisory
Kodak EasyShare CX7525 zoom digital camera
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures: 1) reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; 2) increase
the separation between the equipment and the receiver; 3) connect the
equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
additional suggestions.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Where shielded interface cables have been provided with the product or
specified additional components or accessories elsewhere defined to be used
with the installation of the product, they must be used in order to ensure
compliance with FCC regulation.
