● Pilot lamp indication
The indications of the pilot lamp will be as shown in
Table 1, according to the condition of the charger or the
rechargeable battery.
Table 1
CAUTION
○ 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). In such a case,
fi rst let the battery cool, then start charging.
○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers (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.
○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to
confi rm that the battery being charged with charger is taken
out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds before reinserting it
to continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3
seconds, the battery may not be properly charged.
○ If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every second)
even though the charger cord is connected to the power,
it indicates that the protection circuit of the charger may
be activated.
Remove the cord or plug from the power and then
connect it again after 30 seconds or so. If this does
not cause the pilot lamp to blink in red (every second),
please take the charger to the Hitachi Authorized Service
Center.
