 With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can
warm up. This is not harmful and does not indicate a technical defect of the unit.
 A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full
capacity until after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles. Leave such batteries in
the charging compartment until they have clearly warmed up.
 A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the batteries are worn
out and must be replaced.
