CAUTION
○
If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has
been left for a long time in a location subject to direct
sunlight or because the battery has just been used,
the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does
not light for 0.5 seconds (o
ff
for 0.5 seconds). In such a
case,
fi
rst let the battery cool, then start charging.
○
When the pilot lamp
fl
ickers (at 0.2-second intervals),
check for and take out any foreign objects in the
charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.
○
Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3
seconds to con
fi
rm that the battery being charged
with UC18YGSL is taken out, wait for a minimum of 3
seconds before reinserting it to continue charging. If
the battery is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery
may not be properly charged.
