NOTE
t
The battery charger will determine the status of the battery after the battery is mounted. Therefore, it may take some time until the charging lamp is to
illuminate. Mount the battery again if the charging lamp does not illuminate after ten seconds or longer has elapsed.
t
When two quick charging compatible batteries are mounted, the quick charging on the <CHARGE1> side will take priority, and the charging on the
<CHARGE2> side will be normal charging. Once the charging of the <CHARGE1> side proceeds, the charging on the <CHARGE2> side will switch to
quick charging.
Also, depending on the charging status of the battery, the indicator on the battery that is mounted on the <CHARGE2> side may turn off.
t
The battery charger will perform optimal charging after determining the status of the battery. Once the charging is started, the indicator for quick
charging compatible battery will flash. Also, if it is charging on both <CHARGE1> side and <CHARGE2> side, charging of both batteries will stop when
either one of the battery is mounted/removed, or replaced. It will start the charging again after determining the status of the batteries.
t
Mount the battery to be charged prioritized on the <CHARGE1> side when charging.
