or storage. Repair or replace any damaged components.
The operating temperature and humidity ranges are Between 5 °C (41 °F) and
35°C (95 °F) and under 90% humidity. The charger may not function outside of
these ranges.
Charging
Remove the microphones from the charger once charging is complete. Both the
microphones and the charger heat up during charging, but this is not due to a
malfunction. Batteries which are being used for the first time or batteries
which have not been used for a long time (more than three months) may not be
completely recharged in just one cycle, resulting in less usable time for the
microphones. This phenomenon is characteristic of the rechargeable batteries.
The battery runtime may be recovered to the normal level by completely
charging and then depleting (by using the microphone) the batteries two or
three times.
Power specifications
The charger uses AC 120 V (60 Hz) power. Connect the charger to an enough
capacity power source.
When not using for an extended period of time Remove the power cord from the
power socket.

Charging
-
Turn OFF the microphone
Check that the [PWR] indicator on the microphone is off.
-
Insert the microphone into the charger
Check that the [POWER] indicator in the charger lights on, and place the microphone as shown in the illustration to the right. When the microphone is inserted into the charger, the [CHG] indicator of the former will show the charging status as follows:
On: Charging
Off: Charging complete or the microphone is not set correctly on the charger.
Blinking:
Usually caused by one of the following. The microphone may contain a dry-cell or deteriorated rechargeable battery, or the battery may be absent. Make sure that the proper type of battery is inserted. The rechargeable battery may be outside of the operating temperature range. Make sure that the battery is within the operating temperature range.
-
Also refer to the microphone manual.
-
The microphone cannot be used while in charging.
-
Microphones will not be charged if they are not correctly set on the charger.
-
If the charger cannot directly contact the microphone because of an obstruction, the [ERROR] indicator on the charger will either light up or blink. Failing to remove the obstruction may cause overheating. Remove any foreign matter which may be causing the obstruction.
-
Set the power switch on the microphone to OFF while charging. Even when you insert the microphone into the charger with the power switch in ON position, the microphone is automatically turned OFF and the battery will be charged. However, in such event, you still need to move the power switch to the OFF position. (This is because the battery power will be slightly consumed after charging when the switch is in ON position.)
-
Hold the charger with your hand when removing a microphone from it.
-
In order to avoid battery capacity reduction due to self-discharge, the charger will continue to pass minute current to the microphones even after the [CHG] indicator on the microphone has gone off. The [CHG] indicator on the charger will not light up unless the charger itself is powered OFF and then ON again.
-
If the [CHG] indicator does not light up despite a microphone being inserted into the charger, confirm that all the links between charger, AC adaptor, power cable, and electric outlet are securely connected.
-
The charging time depends on the battery type and the specific use situation, but at longest it will be around eight hours.
-
Charging the batteries outside of their operating temperature range may substantially increase the amount of time required for charging. Even if the batteries are within their operating temperature range, charging while the microphone is very hot or cold may increase the amount of time required for charging.
-
Both the microphone and the charger heat up during charging, but this is not due to a malfunction.
-
Do not try to charge already full batteries. Doing so will reduce the lifespan of the batteries.
-
Some kinds of batteries may not be fully recharged in just one cycle and the runtime becomes small. This happens to the batteries which are being used for the first time, batteries which have not been used for a long (more than three months) time, and batteries which have been recharged and depleted numerous times. This phenomenon is characteristic of the rechargeable batteries. The battery runtime may be recovered to the normal level by completely charging and then depleting (by using the microphone) the batteries two or three times.
-
The charger automatically recognizes the dry-cell battery inside the microphone to cancels charging, and then the [CHG] indicator will blink. However, depending on the type of dry-cell battery, this automatic recognition may take some time and the [CHG] indicator stay lit until the recognition completes.
-
Sometimes, when trying to recharge almost-full batteries at very low temperatures, these may be mistakenly recognized as non-rechargeable dry-cell batteries, and the [CHG] indicator may start blinking.
-
The microphones are charged through inductive charging. Because of inductive charging regulations, the [PWR] indicator on the microphone may go off multiple times just before charging is completed, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
-
Sometimes, when trying to charge almost-empty batteries, these may be mistakenly recognized as dry-cell batteries, stopping the charging and making the [CHG] indicator start blinking. If this happens, remove the microphone from the charger and re-insert it multiple times until the batteries are properly recognized. If the batteries cannot be recharged despite multiple attempts, it means that they are completely exhausted and need to be replaced.
-
If, once charging is complete, the batteries in the microphone spontaneously drain, charging will not start again even if the microphone is still inserted into the charger.
