Charging the battery
Using the charger
Charging begins as soon as the battery is properly connected. The green charging
status indicator blinks as the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully
charged, the green charging status indicator stops blinking and stays on. You can
remove the battery for use when this happens, but we recommended that you
leave the battery on the charger for another 30 minutes to ensure a full (topped
off) charge.
A
UTOMATIC BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECTION AND INDICATION
Most camcorder and digital camera Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are either 3.6 V
or 7.2 V. This charger has built-in battery detection for automatic selection of the
appropriate output voltage to the battery, to ensure safe and efficient charging.
The 3.6 V/7.2 V battery voltage indicator lights red when charging a 3.6 V battery,
and lights green if the battery is 7.2 V.
Dynex DX-DA100501 camcorder battery charger - combined.fm Page 13 Friday, October 28, 2005 2:54 PM
Troubleshooting
ABNORMAL BATTERY DETECTION
Your charger detects an abnormal battery pack by sensing the voltage. If it is too
high or too low, or if the battery pack does not reach full charge status within 8
hours of charging, the charger stops the operation immediately and indicate the
abnormal condition by flashing both the power and battery status indicator LEDs.
Normal operation resumes when the faulty battery is removed.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes and solutions
No indicator lights
Power light only
Power and battery status LEDs both blinking Defective battery*
Hissing noise while charging Normal operation due to advance switching
* To determine if the battery is overcharged or defective, place it on the camcorder
or digital camera and turn it on. If the camcorder or digital camera does not turn
on, the battery is probably defective. If the camcorder or digital camera does not
operate, leave the power turned on for 30+ minutes, then remove the batter y and
put it on the charger. The charger should go into charge mode, indicated by the
green blinking charge status indicator.
• Confirm that the AC Adapter is firmly connected at
both ends (wall and power input jack)
• Confirm that the power outlet is functioning normally
• Confirm that the car cord is firmly connected at both
ends (cigarette lighter socket and power i nput jack)
• Confirm that the cigarette lighter socket is
functioning normally
• The battery is fully charged *
• The battery is mounted incorrectly, remove and
remount the battery
• Clean the battery and charger contacts
• The battery may be defective*

Maintenance
If the charger must be cleaned, make sure it is unplugged, and then wipe the body
