Gently push the NP-BX1 toward the direction of the U
mark on the unit, and raise the edge of the NP-BX1.
Charging time
Fully charging a fully discharged battery pack in an
ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) will take about 3
hours.
The charging time may be longer depending on your
operating environment. In addition, battery packs that have
not been used for extended periods may take longer to
charge.
When you are in a hurry
If necessary, devices can be removed from the unit before
they are fully charged. However, their usable durations
will vary depending on how long they were charged.

Using the Storage
Function
Storing a battery in a fully charged state will deteriorate the
battery and shorten its life cycle.
The unit is equipped with a storage function that limits
charging to 80% to prevent battery deterioration. When
you do not intend to use a battery for extended periods,
using the storage function can minimize deterioration.
Switching to storage mode
Press the RESET button while the CHARGE indicator is
lit to switch between normal mode and storage mode.
When you press the RESET button while the CHARGE
indicator is off, the indicator will light for 3 seconds,
allowing you to check the current charge mode. Pressing
the button again during this time will switch between
normal mode and storage mode.
During normal mode: Lights orange
During storage mode: Lights red
The switching operation can also be performed via the
Wireless Studio computer control software.
Discharging battery packs
When a battery pack with 80% to 100% charge is inserted,
the leftmost charge/discharge status indicator will blink
and discharge will start.
Discharge will complete when the battery charge reaches
80%.
Checking the charge/discharge status during
storage mode
As in normal mode, you can check the charge/discharge
status of battery packs via the charge/discharge status
indicators and CHARGE indicators.
However, the manner in which the indicators light differs
from normal mode.
