ª About AC Adaptor
�If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing, and the Battery may not be charged. After the temperature of the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently, charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact a dealer. �When the Battery is re-attached while the [QUICK] Lamp is lighted and the [100%] Lamp is flashing, the [QUICK] Lamp starts flashing again, and it may take some moments for the lamp to stop flashing and light: this is normal and not a malfunction. �If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than normal. �If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio. �When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal. �After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead from the AC mains socket. (If they are left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.) �Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery always clean.

When the Charge Lamps on the AC Adaptor Flash as Warning When the Charge Lamps Flash Slowly The temperature of the Battery is low (or high), or the Battery is excessively discharged, therefore, charging takes longer than normally.
