On the battery charger
On the battery charger
• Do not charge any battery pack other than the
NP-BG type or NP-FG type battery packs in the
battery charger (supplied). Batteries other than
the specified kind may leak, overheat, or
explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a
risk of injury from electrocution and burns.
• Remove the charged battery pack from the
battery charger. If you leave the charged battery
pack in the charger, battery life may be
shortened.
• The CHARGE lamp of the supplied battery
charger flashes in either way:
– Fast flashing: Turns the light on and off
repeatedly at the interval of 0.15 seconds.
– Slow flashing: Turns the light on and off
repeatedly at the interval of 1.5 seconds.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes fast, remove
the battery pack being charged, and then insert
the same battery pack into the battery charger
securely again. When the CHARGE lamp
flashes fast again, this may indicate a battery
error or that a battery pack other than the
specified type has been inserted. Check that the
battery pack is the specified type. If the battery
pack is the specified type, remove the battery
pack, replace it with a new one or another one
and check if the battery charger operates
correctly. If the battery charger operates
correctly, a battery error may have occurred.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes slowly, it
indicates that the battery charger stops charging
temporarily on standby. The battery charger
stops charging and enters the standby status
automatically when the temperature is outside of
the recommended operating temperature. When
the temperature gets back within the appropriate
range, the battery charger resumes charging and
the CHARGE lamp lights up again. We
recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F).
