Supplying power to an
external device
Use an optional DC connecting cable
to connect the charger to the DC
power input connector of the device.
Note
The unit cannot charge a battery pack
at the same time it supplies DC power
to an external device. If you begin
using the unit to supply power to an
external device while charging a
battery pack, the charging stops.
Refreshing the battery
packs (BP-M50/M100
only)
If a nickel metal hydride battery pack
with remaining capacity is charged
repeatedly, the storage capacity of the
battery may be reduced due to
memory effect (phenomena by which
the remaining battery capacity is
memorized). To prevent against this
memory effect, the refresh function is
provided to fully discharge a battery
pack before charging.
To refresh the battery pack
automatically
Set the REFRESH MANUAL/AUTO
selector to “AUTO.” When the nickel
metal hydride battery pack is attached,
the BC-M150 detects it and
automatically refreshes it regularly.
To refresh the battery pack
manually
1
Set the REFRESH MANUAL/
AUTO selector to “MANUAL.”
2
Attach the nickel metal hydride
battery pack and press the
CHANNEL button repeatedly to
select it.
