indicator is displayed but the power runs out too quickly.

When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, the poles of batteries or the terminals of the

battery cover are dirty so the batteries are not charged sufficiently. Clean them with a cotton
swab, etc. (page 100).
When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, the displayed time remaining differs from the
•
current one due to the memory effect (page 100), etc. Fully discharge and then charge the
batteries to correct the display.
