Preparing the Power Supply
26
• If there is a malfunction with the battery charger or battery pack, the charge indicator will go out and charging
will stop.
• For handling precautions regarding the battery pack, refer to
Battery Pack (A 211).
• For approximate charging times, refer to the
Reference Tables (A 223). For approximate recording times with
a fully charged battery pack, refer to the Specifications (A 219).
• Charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. Therefore, charge them on the day of use, or the day
before, to ensure a full charge.
• We recommend that you prepare battery packs to last 2 to 3 times longer than you think you might need.
• Repeatedly charging and discharging the battery pack will eventually shorten its battery life. You can check the
battery life on the [Battery/Hour Meter] status screen (A 202). Fully charging the battery pack and then
discharging it completely will give you a more accurate reading.
• USA and Canada only: The Lithium ion/polymer battery that powers the product is recyclable.
