, Connect the battery charger to
a wall outlet (wall socket) using
the power cord (mains lead).
The CHARGE lamp lights up when
charging begins, and goes off when
charging is completed.
For details on the battery charger
(supplied), see page 119.
To remove the batteries
Press the – end of the battery down in order
to raise the + end, then remove the battery.
• When charging is finished, disconnect the
power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet
(wall socket), and remove the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries from the battery charger.
Charging time
This represents the time required to charge
fully depleted Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries using the supplied battery charger
in an environment where the ambient
temperature is 25°C (77°F).
• It takes about six hours to completely charge
the batteries. The CHARGE lamp may remain
lit longer than six hours, but this is not a
malfunction.
• If you use the battery charger supplied with the
STAMINA “Quick charge” kit (not supplied),
the batteries will charge faster.
Charging time
When charging two Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries: Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes
When charging four Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries: Approximately 5 hours
Notes on the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries
• At the time of purchase, or when the
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries have not
been used for a long time, they may not
fully charge. This is typical of this type
of battery, and is not a malfunction. If
this happens, repeatedly using up the
batteries fully, and then recharging
them, should correct the problem.
• If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries are dirty, the batteries may not charge
properly. Occasionally clean the poles of the
batteries and the terminals of the charger by
wiping them with a dry cloth.
• Always carry the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries in the supplied battery case.
Otherwise, metallic objects may short the + and
– ends, resulting in the risk of heating or fire.
• Even when Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are
not being used they lose their charge naturally
over time. It is recommended that you recharge
the batteries just before using them.
• If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
before fully using up the existing charge, the
low battery warning may be displayed sooner
than expected. This is called the “memory
effect.”* If this problem occurs, charging the
batteries only after using up the existing charge
will correct it.
* The “memory effect” – the situation in which
the capacity of the battery is temporarily
lowered.
