Panasonic AG-B23P Operating Instructions Manual page 12

Charge the battery pack
zThe battery becomes hot while it is being used or charged. The Battery
z
Charger itself also becomes hot during use.
zDischarge the battery before storing it. When storing it for an extended
z
time, charge it at least once a year, use up its charge in the camera-
recorder, and then store it again.
zIf the battery is extremely hot or cold, the CHARGE lamp will blink several
z
times before charging starts.
zIf the CHARGE lamp continues to blink even when the battery
z
temperature is normal, there may be something wrong with the battery or
Battery Charger. Contact your dealer.
zThe battery takes longer to charge when it is warm.
z
zThe Battery Charger can interfere with radio reception so keep radios at
z
least 1 meter away from it.
zThe Battery Charger may make some noise when you are using it, but
z
this is normal.
zIf you remove and reattach the battery during charging, the CHARGE
z
lamp may go off momentarily while the Battery Charger is checking the
change remaining in the battery, but this is normal.
zWhen the CHARGE lamp does not light, remove and then reattach
z
the battery. Or, attach the battery to the camera recorder, use it for
10-20 minutes, and then reattach the battery to the Battery Charger.
If it still cannot be charged, consult with your dealer.
zDisconnect the AC mains cable cord from the power outlet when the unit
z
is not going to be used. (If it is left connected, approximately 0.3 W of
power will be consumed.)
zIt may take a short time before the Battery Charger's POWER lamp lights,
z
but this is normal.
