Getting Started
Additional Information
To use a battery in optimum condition:
• Use the battery until the low charge light (
) flashes. Using a battery for a short time
and then recharging it may shorten the operation time.
• It is recommended to refresh a battery before recharging it when it has not been used
for long time; otherwise its operation time becomes short. Press the refresh button.
After refreshing is complete, the REFRESH light turns off and the CHARGE light turns
on and charging begins automatically.
Refreshing a fully charged battery takes approximately 4 hours (VM-BP82G), adding
considerable time to battery charging.
With repeated normal charging and use the battery will gradually lose operating time.
When operation time becomes too short to be useful, replace the battery.
If the POWER light begins to flash during charging, remove the battery and then
reattach it to the AC charger/adapter. If the POWER light continues to flash after several
attempts to attach it, the battery is unable to take a charge and must be replaced.
Do not attach a hot battery to the AC adapter/charger. Allow it to cool. Attaching a hot
battery to the AC adapter/charger causes the POWER light to flash.
THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY OR AC
ADAPTER/CHARGER.
THROWING THE BATTERY INTO FIRE OR EXPOSING IT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT
(ABOVE 149°F [65°C]) MAY CAUSE INJURY.
SHORTING THE BATTERY'S TERMINAL INCREASES RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
ATTENTION:
The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is
recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be
illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local
solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
