Battery Problems
The battery power is depleted
prematurely.
A1: The incorrect type of battery is being used.
• Replace batteries with two AA-sized Alkaline or NiMH batteries.
A2: The battery temperature is lower than that used in standard operating
conditions. Battery performance deteriorates in a cold environment.
• If the ambient temperature is low, store the batteries in a warm
place (e.g., your pouch) before use.
A3: The rechargeable batteries are not used for over a year.
• To get optimal performance and prolong battery life, recharge
batteries a few cycles.
A4: The service life of rechargeable batteries may have been reached.
• Stop using the rechargeable batteries and replace them with new
ones that follow the same specifications.
A1: The rechargeable batteries were probably placed incorrectly in the
charger.
• Ensure that the batteries are placed in the charger with the correct
polar orientation.
A2: Poor electrical contact between the batteries and the charger’s
contacts.
• Ensure that the two batteries are correctly placed in the charger.
• Ensure that the correct power cable is properly connected to your
charger, and that the cable is plugged into an operating electrical
outlet if necessary.
A3: The battery has reached its service life.
• Replace with a new battery, as the rechargeable battery may have
been reached its service life.
Rechargeable batteries cannot be
successfully charged.
