NOTES
• We recommend charging the battery pack in temperatures between 10 ºC and 30 ºC (50 ºF and 86 ºF).
Outside the temperature range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF), charging will not start.
• If there is a malfunction with the battery charger, compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator
will go out and charging will stop.
• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to
Safety Instructions
(
A
2),
Battery Pack
(
A
224).
• For approximate charging times and usage times with a fully charged battery pack, refer to the
Reference
Tables (
A
235).
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• Repeatedly charging and completely depleting a battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can
check the battery life on the [
B
System Setup] status screen (
A
207). Fully charging the battery pack and
then depleting it completely will give you a more accurate reading.
