(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,
and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
●
When the battery charger has been continuosly
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes
rest until the next charging.
●
If the battery is charged while it is heated
because it has been left for a long time in a
location subject to direct sunlight or because
the battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of
the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for
0.5 seconds (o
ff
for 0.5 seconds). The battery will
not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery
cool before charging.
●
When the pilot lamp
fl
ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger’s battery connector. If
there are no foreign objects, it is probable that
the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it
to your authorized Service Center.
