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 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.
