Greetings Butch,
When you plug in the dock, you should hear it power up and prepare for use. If there is no camera on the dock, and it is not connected to a computer, there will be no lights. If you place a camera on the dock in that scenario, however, the lights will blink and the camera light up showing any images you have on it. The first light on the array of three that is the closest to the camera insert tray - "transfer" button - will also come on (tells you the camera battery is being charged. The button to the right for printing comes on as does the second light in the array of four with little lines connecting to the button comes on as well. It tells you that your camera is on the dock. The Kodak adapter used for the dock is rated at input = 110-240 volts 50/60 Hz and output at 24V - - - 1.8A It does not sound like you have the right adapter for the dock. I suggest you review this with the store where it was purchased. I may be missing something but please additional details if you do not see what I am sharing. Ron Baird Eastman Kodak Company "Butch Hinton" wrote in message ... I purchased a Camera Dock 6000 off ebay for my Kodak DX7440 and have a couple questions: 1. When the dock is plugged in without camera, should any lights on dock be lit. 2. When I seat the camera, I get no lights. I am trying to determine if the dock is bad or the camera is not seating. I did check the power adapter and it is reads 10v with no load on it. Is this correct?? I have checked the voltage on some of the adapter I have around the house and they all read higher voltage with no load. I plan to check another camera on dock as soon as I can before I contact the seller. The dock does have a 30 day warranty from seller. My thanks Butch - |

Camera Dock 6000
Hi Ron,
This is just the camera dock not the printer dock, which I believe take the 5V adapter. I get no lights at all when power is applied or when camera is placed on dock.

Hi Butch,
Sorry about the confusion, I should have asked. When using the Camera Dock 6000 you will see a light when the camera is set onto the dock. The charging process begins at that point. So, if no lights are seen, please unplug the cable from the wall and the dock. Make sure the battery is correctly installed (you need to use a Kodak rechargeable battery pack). Rub the ends of the battery if you have not used it in a while. Once you have completed this reset the cords into the wall and into the dock securely. Reset the camera on the dock and see if the lights come on. If not, then you may need to get your dock serviced. Before you do, however, and if you know anyone with a Dock 6000 see if they will let you borrow their wall power adapter so you can check to make sure yours if functioning correctly. It may be that the adapter needs to be replaced? After trying these options, contact Kodak and we can move ahead from there. Talk to you soon, Butch, let me know how you make out.

Ron,
Problem was the dock. I bought it used over Ebay and the seller is refunding my money. I bought a new dock at Walmart and it works great. I have another question for you. Is it safe to just leave the camera on the dock? Will this keep the battery at full charge? Camera is a DX7440 (NICE!!) with the Li-ion battery. Thanks..

Hi Butch,
I understand and am glad you were able to return the dock and get another. As to leaving the camera on the dock, that is what I do. It is true, however, if you do not use the camera for long periods, it is a good idea to every now and then, to pick up the camera and take a picture. It will start the charging and bring the camera to full power. Lithium Ion batteries are great and hold a charge for a long time, so you should be all set if you use your camera at least once a month. I love your camera choice as well. Great options!
