Getting Started  
The HP Photosmart R-series camera dock allows you to easily  
download images to your computer, print images directly to a  
printer, recharge the camera battery and a spare battery at the  
same time, and display images on a television (TV). You can  
use the dock remote control just as you would use a TV remote  
control, with the added ability to rotate, magnify, and print  
images (if the dock is connected to a printer). You can also use  
the remote control to navigate the camera menus and use the  
HP Instant Share feature (see your camera User’s Manual).  
Setting Up the Dock  
1 Attach the dock insert. One or  
more clear plastic dock inserts  
came in the box with your dock.  
Each of these dock inserts has a  
colored sticker on it. See Chapter  
1 of your camera User's Manual  
to determine which dock insert to  
use, and attach that insert to the  
top of the camera dock by  
snapping it into place as shown in  
the picture.

2
To remove the insert, press your  
thumb against the inside of the  
insert at the end of the insert that is closest to the end of the  
dock (1) and push the end of the insert out (2) to release it.

Icon Description  
Connect the dock to a TV using the audio/video  
cable with the part number C6324-61601.  
Connect the yellow connector to the video input,  
and the red connector to the audio input on your  
TV, VCR, or DVD player.

3
Connect the AC power adapter to the DC IN  
connector on the dock, plug the power cord into the  
AC power adapter, and plug the power cord into a  
wall outlet. If more than one power cord is in the  
box, use the cord that is appropriate for power  
outlets in your country. The AC power adapter for  
the dock is the same as the one used for your R-  
series camera. If no power adapter came with your  
dock, use the one that came with your camera.  
Connect the dock to your computer or printer using  
the appropriate USB cable. You cannot connect the  
dock to both a computer and a printer at the same  
time.  
The USB cable to use for connecting to a computer  
or a non-HP printer is part number C8887–80003,  
and it came in the box with the dock.  
The USB cable to use for connecting to an HP  
printer is part number Q2164-61600 (or 8121-  
0807), and it came in the box with your camera.  
7
 
 
3 Remove any cables that may  
be attached to your camera.  
Then, insert the camera into the  
camera dock as shown here.  
The back of the camera must  
point toward the edge of the  
dock with the two buttons.  
Charging a Spare  
Battery  
Insert a spare rechargeable lithium ion battery into the dock  
recharging bay door with the arrows on the top of the battery  
(1) pointing toward the door, as shown in the picture.  
Push the battery into the  
recharging bay until the slide  
knob (2) snaps down. (The slide  
knob must be pushed up to  
1
remove the battery.) Make sure  
the spare battery charging light  
(see page 9) begins blinking.  
Caution Read Battery Safety  
Precautions on page 20 carefully before recharging lithium ion  
batteries.  
The first time that you use a rechargeable battery, be sure that  
you charge it fully before using it in your camera. It may take  
up to 2.5 hours to fully charge a new battery in the dock, or  
3.5 hours to charge a fully depleted battery. You can charge a  
battery in the camera while simultaneously charging a battery  
in the dock, but the battery in the dock will charge more  
quickly than the battery in the camera. (See Battery Charge  
Times on page 20 for details.)

Transfer. If there were any images on the camera that had  
been selected for printing or e-mail, those actions are  
started after the images have been transferred to the  
computer.  
4 When the transfer screen on the computer says Finished,  
your images have been saved and shared. You can leave  
the camera in the dock to recharge the camera battery.

USB cable for connecting to a computer if you have a  
non-HP printer) is connected between the camera dock  
and your printer, and the power cable is plugged into the  
dock. (See step 2 on page 7.)  
The printer is turned on and paper is loaded in the  
printer. Refer to your camera manual for printer setup  
information.

Displaying Images on a TV  
Using the Dock  
1 Confirm the following:  
The dock insert for your camera is attached to the top of  
the camera dock. (See step 1 on page 6.)

12  
HP Photosmart R-series dock User’s Manual  
 
 
TIP If you cannot locate video and audio input jacks on your  
TV to fit the connectors on the audio/video cable, you  
should be able to use the video and audio input jacks on  
a video cassette recorder (VCR) or DVD player connected  
to your TV.  
2 Your camera is set to send either an NTSC or a PAL video  
signal to a TV, depending on the language you selected  
when you set up your camera. The NTSC format is used  
primarily in North America and Japan, and the PAL format  
is used primarily in Europe. If your TV accepts a different  
video signal from the default setting for your language, you  
must change the TV configuration setting in your camera.  
(See your camera User’s Manual.)  
3 Your camera will be the source for the TV signal (just like a  
VCR or a camcorder), so you must set the TV to take video  
input from an external video source (your camera) instead  
of the antenna or cable TV. Refer to the TV user’s manual for  
directions on how to do this.  
4 Insert the camera into the camera dock. The camera will  
turn on automatically.  
5 Press the TV  
control. The first image in the camera is displayed on the TV.  
You can use the buttons to manually navigate through  
a slideshow of the images on the camera, or press to  
button on the dock or the dock remote  
start an automatic slideshow of each image, playing any  
attached audio clip or video clip, and then changing to the  
next image.  
6 To end the slideshow, press the TV  
button again.  
NOTE The Image Display on the camera turns off when the  
camera is connected to a TV, but you can still use the  
camera’s menus because the menus will display on the TV  
screen.  
13  
 
Using the Remote  
You can use the dock remote control to pause the slideshow,  
magnify an image, rotate an image, select an image for HP  
Instant Share, or mark an image for printing.

remote, you need to install  
the remote control battery.  
Remove the battery door on  
the back of the dock remote  
control and slide the round  
non-rechargeable CR 2025  
battery into the remote, +  
(positive) side up, until it  
clicks into place, as shown in  
the picture. Then replace the battery door.

Battery Safety Precautions  
Using Lithium Ion Batteries  
! Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery  
contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged,  
may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.  
! Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using,  
charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an  
unusual smell, feels unusually hot, changes color or shape,  
or appears abnormal in any other way.  
! In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s  
eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and  
immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery  
fluid could cause damage to the eye.  
! Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow  
the battery to get wet.  
! Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.  
20  
HP Photosmart R-series dock User’s Manual  
 
     
! Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative  
terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object  
(such as wire).  
! Do not carry or store the battery together with necklaces,  
hairpins, or other metal objects.  
! Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a  
hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong  
impacts or shocks.  
! Do not solder directly onto the battery.  
NOTE The camera and the dock may be warm while  
operating and charging a lithium ion battery. This is  
normal.  
NOTE A lithium ion battery can be left in the camera or the  
dock for any period of time without harm to the battery,  
the camera, or the dock. However, do not store the battery  
in the camera if it is not necessary. Always store charged  
batteries in a cool location.  
Recharging Lithium Ion Batteries  
! Do not charge any other battery than the HP Photosmart  
R07 lithium ion battery in the camera or the dock.  
! Insert the lithium ion battery in the correct orientation in the  
camera and in the dock.  
! Use the camera and the dock in a dry location only.  
! Do not charge a lithium ion battery in a hot location, such  
as near a fire or in direct sunlight.  
! When recharging a lithium ion battery, do not cover the  
camera or the dock in any way.  
! Do not operate the camera or the dock if it appears  
damaged in any way.  
21  
 
 
! Do not disassemble the camera or the dock.  
! Unplug the HP AC power adapter from the electrical outlet  
before cleaning.  
! After extensive use, the lithium ion battery may begin to  
swell. If it becomes difficult to insert the battery into or  
remove the battery from the camera or the dock, discontinue  
use of the battery and replace it with a new one. Please  
recycle the old battery.
