GETTING READY
3.The [CHARGE] lamp goes out when charging is complete.
4.After charging is complete, unplug the battery charger from the power outlet, and remove the battery from it.
•Always unplug the battery charger from the power outlet and remove the battery whenever you are not charging.
IMPORTANT! 
•If the battery or battery charger is very hot or cold when you start charging or if it becomes hot during charging, the battery charger will enter a standby state, which is indicated when its [CHARGE] lamp goes out. Charging will resume when the temperature returns to the allowable charging temperature range, which is indicated when the [CHARGE] lamp turns red.
•Charging the battery while it is still warm immediately after removing it from the camera can result in only partial charging. Give the battery time to cool before charging it.
•Battery discharges slightly even when it is left without loading it into the camera. Because of this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to use it.
•Charging the battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or radio.
•Dirty charger contacts and/or battery terminals can make proper charging impossible. Be sure to wipe contacts and terminals occasionally with a dry cloth to keep them clean.
