Before using the unit
Before using the unit, always check if the built-in battery is not consumed, and then
set the date/time.
The date of the internal clock of the unit resets to January 1, 2022 if the built-in battery is exhausted. This may result in the meta

Connect the AC adaptor to the main unit or attach a battery when recharging the built-in battery.
The date/time set on the main unit is maintained for approximately 4 months when left in this state for approximately 24 hours.
(Recharged even when the power is on.)

It may take more time to charge or may not be able to charge when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or
extremely low.
•
When the charging lamp continues to flash in orange, check if there is any debris, foreign object, or dirt attached to the
terminal section of the battery or the battery charger, and reconnect it correctly. Always disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet before removing the debris, foreign object, or dirt attached to the terminal section.
•
The charging lamp will flash in orange when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or low.
Then, charging will start automatically after the battery reaches chargeable temperature.
