Charging the (supplied) Battery Pack
- Charge the battery pack before you use it for the first time and when
the LCD monitor indicates, “NO MORE POWER”.
1. Connect the power cord to the charger.
2. Plug the cord into an outlet.
3. Put the battery pack in the charger.
• While the battery pack is being charged, the charging display LED will be red;
when the battery pack is fully charged, the light will turn green.
4. After charging, remove the battery pack from the charger and then
the power cord from the outlet and the charger.
• Normal charging time is about 2.5 hours. Please charge your battery pack in an
area with a temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
• Charging time will vary with the surrounding temperature and the condition of
the battery pack.
• Before using new battery packs or battery packs that have not been used for
some time, be absolutely sure to charge them.
• When a battery pack reaches the end of its useful life, it can be used only for a
short time, even when fully charged. When that happens, replace with a new
battery pack (sold separately, Lithium-ion Battery NP-500).
• During charging both the charger and the battery pack get hot; this is normal.
• If dirt gets on the battery contact points, the battery pack will not be fully
charged or charging time will get longer. Please wipe them off with a soft, dry
cloth.
