Notes on the AC adaptor
•Attach the battery pack firmly.
•Charge the battery pack on a flat surface without vibration.
•Remove the supplied connecting cord (DK-115) from this unit. If not removed,
charging is not possible.
•The charging time may differ depending on the condition of the battery pack or the
temperature of the environment.
•When a fully charged battery pack is installed, the CHARGE lamp will once light,
then go out.
•If the CHARGE lamp does not light or flash, check that the battery pack is correctly
attached to the AC adaptor. If it is not attached, it will not be charged.
•Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the
connecting cord of the AC adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC
adaptor.
•Keep the battery pack dry.
•When the battery pack is not to be used for a long time, charge the battery pack once
fully, and then use it until it fully discharges again. Keep the battery pack in a cool
place.
