Note
- You can charge the remote control even if it is not completely discharged. Also, even if the remote control is not fully charged, you can use the partial charge capacity of the battery pack as is.
- When the power of the remote control is on, it is supplied with power but not charged.
- To maintain the remote control’s function, fully charge the remote control, and then fully discharge it at least once a year while storing. And keep the remote control in a cool place with low humidity.
Hint
- Checking the remaining battery charge
A remaining charge indicator appears on the upper right of the LCD screen.
- The displayed remaining charge indicator may not be correct under certain circumstances.
- It takes about 30 seconds until the correct remaining charge indicator appears.
- If the battery pack runs out quickly even though the remaining charge indicator is high, fully charge the remote control, again. The remaining charge indicator will then be displayed correctly. Note that it may not be displayed correctly in a situation where the remote control is used for a long time at high ambient temperature or the remote control is left fully charged.
