Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from receptacle to avoid damaging cord.

Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger.
CAUTION:
Repair is required if the receptacle is not secured properly or the power cord does not
stay in the receptacle. Consult your electrician. Using the charger in this condition
may lead to fire.
If the charge status lamp is blinking orange rapidly (in 0.2 second intervals) and the
buzzer sounds intermittently for 5 seconds, check that the hole for connecting the
battery is not obstructed. Remove any obstructions. If no obstructions are found, the
battery or charger may be malfunctioned. Return both to your place of purchase.
If the charge time lamp does not light when the power cord is connected to the
receptacle, disconnect the power cord, and check that the battery is attached correctly.
The battery retains heat when used or left for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. In
this state, the charge time lamp flashes red, and the battery cannot be charged
immediately. Leave the battery inserted in the charger, and charging will commence
when the battery cools down.
