The <

> lamp blinks.

This display advises you to calibrate (discharge) the battery, which will enable accurate
charging capacity determination and battery level display on the camera.
When the <

> lamp blinks in green, calibration is recommended. To charge the

battery at this time, wait approx. 10 sec., and charging will begin automatically.
To perform calibration, press the <

> button while the <

> lamp is

blinking in green. The <

> lamp now remains lit in green, and discharging begins.

Charging begins automatically after discharging, but note that the more fully charged the
battery is, the longer discharging will take. Estimated time required for discharging is
indicated by the <

14h

>, <

>, and <

> lamp, with a blinking green <

14h

> lamp

indicating a discharge time of approx. 4–16 hours.
Calibration drains the remaining battery level, and after this, charging the battery will
take approx. 2 hr. 50 min. To cancel calibration in progress and start charging, remove
and reload the battery in the charger.

Caution

Multiple cycles of charging and use without calibration may result in inaccurate

One battery can be charged while another is calibrated, but two batteries cannot be
charged or calibrated at the same time.

indicates that the internal battery temperature is out of range. Charging begins
automatically when the internal temperature returns to 5–40°C/41–104°F.
With two batteries loaded, illumination of only the <

100%

> lamp in green on the side of

the second battery indicates standby status.

All three lamps are blinking.
