CHARGING THE BATTERY

9.If the "POWER" light on the AC adapter/charger starts flashing, remove the battery and then reattach it. If after several attempts the "POWER" light contimues to flash, this means your battery cannot take a charge and must be replaced with a new one. The "POWER" light will also flash it a hot battery is attached to the AC adapter/charger. Attaching an extremely hot battery to the AC adapter/charger is not recommended; it should be allowed to cool down before being attached.

10.Do not short the battery's terminal.

11.Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

12.Throwing the battery into a fire or exposing the battery to excessive heat - over 149°F (65°C) could be hazardous.

13.Set the mark switch of any battery which has already been charged to red as shown in the figure. This lets you discriminate between charged and uncharged batteries easily.
