whether the battery is charged or uncharged. 

Note: The marker switch is not concerned with the battery's performance. 

To use a battery in optimum condition:

l

l 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.

l 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-BP82), 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.
