Refreshing the battery
packs (BP-M50/M100
only)
If a nickel metal hydride battery pack
with remaining capacity is charged
repeatedly, the storage capacity of the
battery may be reduced due to
memory effect (phenomena by which
the remaining battery capacity is
memorized). To prevent against this
memory effect, the refresh function is
provided to fully discharge a battery
pack before charging.
To refresh the battery pack
automatically
Set the REFRESH MANUAL/AUTO
selector to "AUTO." When the nickel
metal hydride battery pack is attached,
the BC-M150 detects it and
automatically refreshes it regularly.
To refresh the battery pack
manually
1
Set the REFRESH MANUAL/
AUTO selector to "MANUAL."
2
Attach the nickel metal hydride
battery pack and press the
CHANNEL button repeatedly to
select it.
