Charging the Battery
•
The time required to fully charge the battery is about 150 minutes (max.). The
appropriate ambient temperature for charging the battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F
to 104°F). (The charging time may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and charging conditions.)
•
The battery has reached the end of its service life when it starts to run down
soon after being charged. Replace with a new battery.
•
Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than the rechargeable
lithium-ion battery D-LI78, as the charger may overheat or be damaged.
•
If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to light, the
battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.
