5.2
Recharging the battery (for the 55i)
•
When storing or carrying the battery removed from the microscope, be sure
to attach the electrode cover (included with the battery). Shorting the battery
terminals may result in various problems, including liquid leakage, heat
generation, or burst.
•
Use only the battery charger specified for use with the EN-EL1.
•
Before storing the battery for extended periods, fully recharge, then fully
discharge the battery. (This should be done at least once a year.)
•
Remove the battery from the microscope or battery charger when not in use.
If the battery remains attached, it may overdischarge and become unusable,
since a trace current flows even when power is turned off.
•
Store the battery in a cool place when not in use.
・
Ideally, store in locations with ambient temperatures around 15°C to 25°C
and low humidity.
・
Avoid unusually cold or hot locations.
•
Recharge the battery at room temperature (5°C to 35°C).
•
To avoid degrading battery performance, do not recharge the battery until it
has been in use for some time and is at least partially discharged.
•
Battery temperature may increase somewhat immediately after recharging.
This does not indicate a problem, and battery performance will not be
affected.
•
If battery life declines significantly, even after a full recharge, the battery
needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new rechargeable battery (EN-EL1).
•
If the battery terminals are soiled, wipe them clean with a dry cloth.
(1)
Remove the wiring cover on the back of the
microscope, then remove the battery from
the battery holder.
(2)
Connect the battery to the designated battery
charger and plug the power cord of the
battery charger into a wall outlet.
(3)
Reinstall the charged battery in the battery
holder.
(4)
Replace the wiring cover.
The wiring cover must be attached to protect the LED light source and the
battery mount from impact shock.
