ª About the AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high
or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may
continue flashing, and the Battery may not charge.
After the temperature of the Battery has decreased
or increased sufficiently, charging starts
automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp continues to
flash even after the Battery temperature has
decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or
AC Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please
contact your dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes longer than
usual.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor
3 feet (1 meter) or more away from radios.
≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate
whirring sounds. This is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Cable from
the AC Jack. (If they are left connected, a small
amount of electricity is consumed.)
≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and
Battery clean.
