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

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 fi rst 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.
●
When the pilot lamp flickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger's battery connector. If there
are no foreign objects, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your
authorized Service Center.
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.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
