Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable
battery.
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are
as shown in Table 3, and batteries that have
become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.
4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling
on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from
receptacle to avoid damaging cord.
5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an
extended period is not activated, the electric
discharge might be low when using them the first
and second time. This is a temporary

phenomenon, and normal time required for
recharging will be restored by recharging the
batteries 2 – 3 times.
CAUTION:
When the battery charger has been continuously
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest
until the next charging.
If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject
to direct sunlight or because the battery has just
been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for
1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for
0.5 seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
NOTE:
Charging times may be longer depending on the
surrounding temperature and battery conditions.
Charge time lamp indications are only a guide, and
may vary depending on the surrounding
temperature and battery conditions.
Remove the battery from the charger when not in
use.
