CHARGING THE BATTERY_
1. Plug the AC adapter/charger power cord into
AC electrical outlet.
2. Attach the battery to the AC adapter/charger.
Align the " <]" mark on the battery with that of
AC adapter/charger and push the battery flush
with the AC adapter/charger and slide it in the
direction of arrow as shown in the figure.
NOTE: You must remove the DC cord from the
AC adapter/charger to charge the battery. If the
DC cord is connected, CHARGE light will flash.
3. The CHARGE light will be lit while the battery
is accepting a charge, and will go out when
the battery is fully charged.
NOTE: If you repeatedly charge a battery
which is not completely discharged or leave a
battery unused for a long time, the operation
time of the battery will become shorter even
when it is completely charged. In this event it
is recommended that you refresh the battery
before charging it.
Attach the battery and then press the refresh
button to refresh it. When refreshing is com¬
plete, the CHARGE indicator will light in place
of the REFRESH indicator and charging will
start automatically.
NOTES:
1. The time required for charging the battery
(provided) is approx, one hour.
2. When fully charged, the battery should supply
approx. 65 minutes of operating time (de¬
pending on how much you use zoom and
pause).
3. It takes about 4 hours to refresh a fully
charged battery (provided).
4. Charge the battery before use and store it at
normal room temperature.
5. The battery should be charged at a tempera¬
ture of 10°C~30"C to prevent damage.
6. Do not operate the battery at temperatures
below -10°C or above 35°C. The battery may
be damaged if operated at temperatures
above 50°C. Operation time will decrease at
extremely low temperatures.
7. After repeated chargings and use, the oper¬
ation time will gradually decrease. When
operation time becomes too short to be use¬
ful, it is time to replace the battery.
8. If the POWER light on the AC adapter/charger
starts flashing, remove the battery and then
reattach it. If after several attempts the
POWER light continues to flash, this means
your battery cannot take a charge and must
be replaced with a new one.
To prolong the life of Ni-Cd batteries
• Only re-charge batteries when they have
completely discharged and the warning
light () is flashing.
• DO NOT top-up charge on batteries.
The POWER light will also flash if a hot battery
is attached to the AC adapter/charger.
Attaching an extremely hot battery to the AC
adapter/charger is not recommended; it
should be allowed to cool down before being
attached.
9. Do not short the battery's terminal.
10. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the
battery. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.
11. Throwing the battery into a fire or exposing
the battery to excessive heat — over 65°C
could be hazardous.
12. Set the mark switch of any battery which has
already been charged to red as shown in the
figure. This lets you discriminate between
charged and uncharged batteries easily .
NOTE: The mark switch is not concerned with
the battery's performance.
