Charging
When the battery is inserted into the battery
charger, charging will commence and the pilot
lamp will light in red. (See Table 2)
NOTE
If the pilot lamp does not light or blink in red, pull
out the plug from the receptacle and check if the
battery is properly mounted.
Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable
battery.
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are
as shown in the Table 3, and batteries that have
become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.
Regarding recharging time
Table 4 shows the recharging time required
according to the type of battery.
Table 4 Recharging time (approx. min.) at 20°C
NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature.
4.
Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION
Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling
on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from
receptacle to avoid damaging cord.
5.
Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out
the battery from the battery charger.
NOTE
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an
extended period is not activated, the electric
discharge might be low when using them the first
and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for
recharging will be restored by recharging the
batteries 2 – 3 times.
When the battery is fully charged, the pilot lamp
will blink in red slowly. (At 1-second intervals) (See
Table 2)
