• For maximum battery efficiency, the recommended temperature range
when charging is +10 °C to +30 °C (+50 °F to +86 °F).Charging becomes
more difficult at lower temperatures.
• Although this unit enables quick charging, charging outside the
recommended temperature range may lead to a longer charging time in
order to protect the battery pack. Once the charging time has been
extended, quick charging will not be restored even if the temperature is
brought within the recommended temperature range. Remove and
reinstall the battery to recharge it again.
Do not connect this unit to a voltage Adaptor (travel converter) for
overseas travel. This may result in overheating or other malfunction.
•To display the battery life of a new battery, first install it in your video
camera recorder and use it for about 20 seconds, and then charge it with
this unit.
•It may take some time for the time to be displayed for the battery pack
that is not being charged. Sometimes the time may not be displayed at all
due to the condition of the battery pack. Neither case is a malfunction.
•In the following cases, some deviance may occur in the time displayed.
This is not due to any malfunction.
– If the battery pack is removed from this unit after normal charge is
finished but before full charge is finished. (It takes about one hour from
when normal charge is complete to when full charge is complete.)
– When charging a battery pack that has not been use for a long time.
(Fully charge once first.)
