 When the battery is fully charged, the pilot lamp



When the battery is connected to the battery

will blink in red slowly. (At 1-second intervals) (See

 

charger, charging will commence and the pilot

lamp will light in red. (See Table 2)

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

 

If the pilot lamp does not light or blink in red, pull

Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery.

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in Table 3, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

4.Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.

CAUTION:

Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.

Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

5.Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary

phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

CAUTION:

When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

If the battery is charged while it is heated because

it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds).

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

NOTE:

Charging times may be longer depending on the surrounding temperature and battery conditions.

Charge time lamp indications are only a guide, and may vary depending on the surrounding temperature and battery conditions.

Remove the battery from the charger when not in use.
