Before Requesting a Repair When the unit does not seem to operate normally, first check the following information. If the problem still persists, consult your supplier. Power supply issues Symptom Check The unit does not start up. • The battery and AC adapter may not be correctly connected. Check the connections. • Hold down the POWER button 1 second or longer to start up. The unit cuts out. • To reduce battery consumption, the unit is automatically shut down after 10 minutes of inactivity. Select [SETTING]  [AUTO POWER OFF] in the setting menu to check. The unit cuts out soon after being started up. • Check whether the battery is depleted. The battery is depleted when the battery charge indicator flashes or the [ ] indi- cation appears. Charge the battery or replace it with a freshly charged battery. Page reference Refer to page 16 Refer to page 18 Refer to page 18 Refer to page 15 Battery issues Symptom The battery is quickly depleted. Check • Check whether the battery is fully charged. Continue charging until the CHARGE lamp on the charger goes out. • Check whether the unit is being used in a low-temperature environment. Battery operation is affected by temperature and battery life will decrease when used at a low temperature. • Check whether the battery has reached the end of its service life. The battery has a limited life span. The life span of the battery varies depending on how it is used. The battery has reached the end of its service life when it depletes quickly, even after being fully charged. Page reference Refer to page 15 For long and Trouble-free Operation Maintenance Do not use benzene or thinner for cleaning. • Benzene and thinner could deform the unit and cause the paint to peel off. • Disconnect the battery and the AC power supply cable from the wall outlet before cleaning. • Wipe the unit using a soft clean cloth. Stubborn soiling should be removed using a cloth dampened with a solution of a neutral detergent and water. Then wipe with a dry cloth. Condensation Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved when droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated room. It occurs when this unit or a card is moved between places where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or when, for instance: • It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room immediately after it has been heated up. • It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid location. When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the power immediately. 49
