Preparing the Power Supply

If there is a malfunction with the compact power adapter or battery pack, the charge indicator will go out and charging will stop.

For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to Battery Pack (A228).

Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day

24before, to ensure a full charge.

Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A213). Fully charging the battery pack and then discharging it will give you a more accurate reading.

We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
