6.2 HOW TO USE THE BATTERY CHARGER (B-SP2D-CHG5-QM)
5) After charging is completed, remove the battery pack from the battery charger. The CHARGE lamp will not go
off immediately after the battery pack is removed, but this is not abnormal.
6) Disconnect the AC plug from the AC outlet.
Charging time
To charge an empty battery pack:
• The charging time may differ depending on the condition of the battery pack or the temperature of the
environment.
NOTES:
1. Battery packs should be charged on condition that both ambient temperature and battery temperature fall within
a range of 0 °C to 40°C.
2. The battery charger will get warmer during charging (room tempe about 30°C). This is not abnormal
state.
3. When the CHARGE lamp blinks in red, it means a battery pack error. As the life of the battery pack may
be expired, replace it with a new one.
4. If the CHARGE lamp does not light in red even if a battery pack is installed, check the following:
• The AC power cord or AC adapter’s plug may not be connected properly. Connect it properly.
• The charging terminal of the battery charger or the battery pack is stained. Wipe it clean with a dry soft cloth.
• When the battery’s over discharge protector has been operated, leave the battery charger and the battery
pack alone for a few minutes. Stop using the battery pack if the CHARGE lamp does not light at all.
5. Periodically clean the charger terminals with a dry cloth.
