About charging errors
When the status indicator is flashing at a
particularly fast or slow rate, the
following should be considered,
Flashing with approx. 4 second period
(off for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx.
2 seconds):
• The battery may be over-discharged, or
the battery temperature may be high or
low. The battery will charge, but it may
take several hours for normal charging to
begin.
Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period
(off for approx. 0.25 second, on for
approx. 0.25 second):
• The battery is not charged. Remove the
battery from the unit, and try charging
again.
• Check that the terminals of the unit or
battery are not dirty or covered in a foreign
object, and connect the battery correctly
once again. If a foreign object or dirt is
present, turn off the unit before removing.
• The battery or environment is at an
extremely high or low temperature. Wait
until the temperature has returned to an
appropriate level and try charging again. If
you are still unable to charge, there may
be a fault in the unit, battery or AC
adaptor.
Lamp turns off:
• Charging has finished.
• If the status indicator stays off despite the
charging being unfinished, there may be a
fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor.
