Question :
I have inserted a battery in the TG-850, but the camera does not turn on. What should I do?

Answer:
Insert the Lithium-Ion battery (LI-50B) as illustrated below. Place the battery terminal bottom down and the minus (-) pole to the battery lock side.

If the battery charge does not start even when the USB cable (USB-AC adapter) is connected to the camera, check whether the battery is inserted correctly and the USB cable (USB-AC adapter) is connected surely.

If you are using a power strip (extension cord), try to connect the USB-AC adapter directly to the wall outlet.
