Remove the battery from the battery charger. Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger. CAUTION: ● Repair is required if the receptacle is not secured properly or the power cord does not stay in the receptacle. Consult your electrician. Using the charger in this condition may lead to fire. 12 ● If the charge status lamp is blinking orange rapidly (in 0.2 second intervals) and the buzzer sounds intermittently for 5 seconds, check that the hole for connecting the battery is not obstructed. Remove any obstructions. If no obstructions are found, the battery or charger may be malfunctioned. Return both to your place of purchase. ● If the charge time lamp does not light when the power cord is connected to the receptacle, disconnect the power cord, and check that the battery is attached correctly. ● The battery retains heat when used or left for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. In this state, the charge time lamp flashes red, and the battery cannot be charged immediately. Leave the battery inserted in the charger, and charging will commence when the battery cools down. ● If the lamp goes out while charging, disconnect the power cord, and leave for 3 to 5 minutes before reconnecting. If the problem persists, call for repairs. ● Leave 5 minutes between charging batteries as the charger may overheat leading to malfunction. ● The battery life is finished if it can only be used for short periods even when fully charged. Purchase a new battery. Continuing to use a depleted battery may cause the charger to malfunction.
