z The charge indicator blinks while charging, then remains lit when
charging is finished.
z This charger can be used only to charge Canon AA-size NiMH
batteries NB-2AH. Please do not attempt to charge NB-2AH
batteries in any other type of charger.
z Never mix new batteries together with batteries that have been
used in other devices.
z When recharging batteries from the camera, always recharge all
four of them at the same time.
z All batteries you place in the charger should be at approximately
the same charge state, and should have been purchased at the
same time. Do not mix batteries with different purchase dates or
different charge states.
z Do not attempt to recharge fully charged batteries, as doing so
may reduce or impair battery performance. Also, do not charge
batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
z
Do not recharge batteries in enclosed areas that tend to retain heat.
z
Repeatedly recharging batteries before they become fully depleted
may cause batteries to lose capacity. Do not recharge the batteries
until the LCD monitor displays the "Change the batteries" message.
z Wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth in the following
situations, as the terminals may be soiled with oil from one's skin
or other dirt:
- If the battery usage time has considerably diminished
- If the number of recordable images has considerably diminished
- When charging the batteries (insert and remove the batteries two or
three times before charging)
- When charging completes in a matter of a few minutes (the battery
charger indicator remains lit)
z You may not be able to fully charge the batteries due to their
specifications right after purchase or after long periods of non-
use. If this happens, use the batteries until their charge is
depleted before charging them again. After doing this several
times, battery performance will be restored.
