1Connect and plug in the cables as
shown.
• POWER Lamp will light.
I Attach the Battery as shown to
charge.
• Charge lamps on the AC Adaptor will
flash and then turn solid red to
indicate current charge level, When
all 3 lamps are constantly on, the
battery is full charged, (approx.
1 hour) Expect approx. 1 hour 15
minutes of operation when fully
charged with (EVF usage).
' Remove the Battery.
Slide the Battery out and then lift up.
About the Charge Lamps
•The three Charge Lamps "50%”, “80%” and “100%” flash and then remain lit one after
another to indicate how much the Battery has been charged. When all three lamps are
lit, charging is finished.
• The Charge Lamp give a good approximate indication of the charging condition under
normal ambient temperature. However, when charging at high or low temperature, it may
differ considerably from the actual charging condition.
About the Flashing of the Charge Lamps
• The flashing of all three Charge Lamps indicates that the temperature of the Battery or
the ambient temperature is too high or too low for charging. Charge the Battery at an
ambient temperature between 10°C and 30°C.
• When the Charge Lamps are flashing slowly:
The Battery is being charged, but charging takes longer than normally.
• When the Charge Lamps are flashing slowly:
Charging is not possible. Remove the Battery once and wait a short time, then re-attach it
again for charging.
