Troubleshooting

A
BNORMAL BATTERY DETECTION
Your charger detects an abnormal battery pack by sensing the voltage. If it is too
high or too low, or if the battery pack does not reach full charge status within 8
hours of charging, the charger stops the operation immediately and indicate the
abnormal condition by flashing both the power and battery status indicator LEDs.
Normal operation resumes when the faulty battery is removed.
Troubleshooting
Problem

Hissing noise while charging
* To determine if the battery is overcharged or defective, place it on the camcorder
or digital camera and turn it on. If the camcorder or digital camera does not turn
on, the battery is probably defective. If the camcorder or digital camera does not
operate, leave the power turned on for 30+ minutes, then remove the battery and
put it on the charger. The charger should go into charge mode, indicated by the
green blinking charge status indicator.

Maintenance

If the charger must be cleaned, make sure it is unplugged, and then wipe the body
of the charger with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent. To clean
the metal contacts, use a clean cloth lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.
