ƔThe time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage. Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been used in some time.

ƔBattery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.

ƔBattery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged. ƔCharge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 30 °C (50 °F - 86 °F)).

ƔKeep any metal items (such as clips) away from the contact areas of the power plug. Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat generated.

ƔWe do not recommend frequently charging the battery.

(Frequently charging battery reduces maximum usage time and can cause battery to expand.)

ƔDo not disassemble or modify the charger.

ƔIf available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan. Please purchase a new battery.

ƔThe battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power is supplied. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charger is connected to an electrical outlet.

ƔWhen charging:

•Remove any dirt on connectors of charger and battery with dry cloth.

•Keep at least 1 m (3.28 feet) away from AM radio (may cause radio interference).

•Noises may be emitted from inside of charger, but this is not a fault.

•After charging, remove the charger from the wall socket, and then remove the battery from the charger (up to 0.1 W consumed if left in place).

ƔDo not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can cause faults).
