Charging the battery
Charging starts when the AC adapter is connected to the instrument, regardless of the power switch
status. It takes 15 hours to complete charging.
The battery capacity lowers due to self-discharge. To compensate the capacity lost due to self
discharge, intermittent charging is performed automatically.
When charging a battery with small charging capacity, supplementary charging of about one hour is
performed.
Charging status is indicated by the charging lamp.
