Panasonic DMCFH3R, DMCFH3S, DMCFP3S, DMCFP3AB When the Charge indicator flashes, Battery indication

Preparation

∫When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes

•The battery temperature is too high or too low. Please charge the battery again in a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF).

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

∫Battery indication

The battery indication is displayed on the LCD monitor.

[It does not appear when you use the camera with the AC adaptor (optional) connected.]

•The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is exhausted. Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully charged battery.

Note

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

•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. (Since characteristic swelling may occur.)

•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.
