IN terminal or to the compact power
adapter any electrical equipment that is
not expressly recommended for use

excessive heating, do not connect the
supplied compact power adapter to
voltage converters for overseas travels
or special power sources such as those
on aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters,
etc.
NOTES

rough estimate of the battery charge
status.
Continuously on: Battery pack fully
charged.
Two quick flashes at 1-second intervals:
Battery pack at least 50% charged. If
the indicator flashes quickly but not
exactly in this pattern, refer to
Troubleshooting (

One flash at 1-second intervals: Battery
pack less than 50% charged.
