Charging (Fig. 1)
This charger can charge at most two batteries at the same time. Left two ports
and right two ports of the charger consist pairs respectively. One pair can
charge a battery at one time.
For example, if you insert the batteries in port 1 and 3, the charger starts
charging those two batteries at the same time.
However, if you insert the batteries in port 1 and 2, the charger starts
charging only port 1. Charging of port 2 starts after the charging of battery
in port 1 completes.
-
Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage source. Charging lights start blinking rapidly in green color.
-
Insert the battery cartridge into the charger until it stops.
Terminal cover of the charger automatically opens as you insert the battery cartridge. -
The charging light on the port changes into red color, and charging starts shortly after.
Note:
Notice the charging light on the port of the pair starts blinking ‘slowly’ when you insert a battery. If you insert a battery into the pair port, which charging light is blinking slowly in green, the charging light starts blinking in red color, and the port becomes stand-by status. Charging on the pair port starts after completion of charging on the first port. -
As charging progress, the both red and green color light up. And with completion of charging, green color lights up.
Note:
Charging time varies by temperature (10°C (50°F) – 40°C (104°F)) and condition of the battery cartridge, such as a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time. -
After charging all batteries, remove the battery cartridges from charger and unplug the charger.
NOTE:
-
Do not use the charger other than its intended use, nor charge other manufacturer’s cartridge.
-
When the red light blinks, charging may not start if the battery cartridge is in a following state:
– Having been just used.
– Having been left under the direct sunlight or in a cold room for long.
– Not at adequate temperature. -
Charging starts after the battery cartridge’s temperature reaches the degree at which charging is possible.
-
If dust clogs the terminal or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged, the charger does not charge the battery and the charging light shows green and red alternating light.
-
The charger cannot use with INTERCHANGEABLE ADAPTER (ADP01, 04) and REFRESHING ADAPTER (ADP02, 03).
