 rmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, 

and then keep it.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, 

etc.

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 

fi

 rst and second time. This is a temporary 

phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging 

will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.
