NOTE
*1 If the red lamp continues to blink even after the charger
has been attached, check to confirm that the battery
has been fully inserted.
*2 Battery overheated. Unable to charge.
Although charging will start once the battery has cooled
down even when left in situ, the best practice is to
remove the battery and allow it to cool down in a
shaded, well-ventilated location before charging.
*3 Malfunction in the battery or the charger
–
Fully insert the battery.
–
Check to confirm that no foreign matter is stuck to
the battery mount or terminals. If there are no
foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or
charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized
Service Center.
○ 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 5 minutes rest until the next charging.

Charging will take longer at extremely low ambient
temperatures. Charge the battery in a warm location
(such as indoors).

NOTE
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 first and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will
be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.
