intermittently for 5 seconds, check that the hole
for connecting the battery is not obstructed.
Remove any obstructions. If no obstructions are
found, the battery or charger may be
malfunctioned. Return both to your place of
purchase.
● If the charge time lamp does not light when the
power cord is connected to the receptacle,
disconnect the power cord, and check that the
battery is attached correctly.
● The battery retains heat when used or left for
prolonged periods in direct sunlight. In this state,
the charge time lamp flashes red, and the battery
cannot be charged immediately. Leave the battery
inserted in the charger, and charging will
commence when the battery cools down.
● If the lamp goes out while charging, disconnect
the power cord, and leave for 3 to 5 minutes before
reconnecting. If the problem persists, call for
repairs.
● Leave 5 minutes between charging batteries as
the charger may overheat leading to malfunction.
● The battery life is finished if it can only be used
for short periods even when fully charged.
Purchase a new battery. Continuing to use a
depleted battery may cause the charger to
malfunction.
NOTE:
Charging times may be longer depending on the
surrounding temperature and battery conditions.
Charge time lamp indications are only a guide, and
