Panasonic DMC-GH1K When the Charge indicator flashes, Battery indication, Battery life

Preparation

∫When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes

•The battery temperature is excessively high or low. The charging time will be longer than normal. Also, charging may not be completed.

•The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.

Note

•Do not use any other AC cables except the supplied one.

•Disconnect the charger from the power outlet after the charging is completed.

•The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.

•The battery will become discharged if left for a long period of time after being charged.

•The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the battery to swell up.)

•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.

•Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near 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.
