Problem Occurrences and Questions

 

 

 

9.1

 

Power 

 

Power is not turned on by pressing 

. 

 

Check whether the screen is turned off with the switch being pressed 
for about 1 second. 

 

 

Cannot continue splicing after several times of splices even with the 
fully charged battery. 

 

Power is quickly consumed 

when “Save mode” is not in use. Refer to

 

the Save Mode to assure proper settings. 

 

If the battery’s life ends for long

-term use, replace it with approved 

replacement. Battery wattage drops with low temperature and more 
rapidly with temperatures below zero. Also, splice current consumption 
goes up with high temperature and 

battery’s

 power consumption 

accelerates. 

 

 

LED is not turned on upon charging. 

 

Disconnect the charger’s AC power cord and connect the DC cord to

 

the charging jack. 
Connect the AC power cord 

after 10~15 seconds. Then the battery’s LED 

is turned on red and charging starts. 

 

 

No remaining battery indication. 

 

Charge the battery. 

 

 

Remaining battery is not well displayed. 

 

Remaining battery display is for reference.
