468nCalibrating BatteriesThe MH-26a battery charger is equipped with a battery calibrationfeature. Calibrate the battery as required to ensure the accuracy ofthe camera and charger battery level displays.If the calibration lamp for the currentbattery chamber flashes when abattery is inserted, the battery needsto be calibrated. To begincalibration, press the calibrationbutton for the current chamber forabout a second. The time needed tocalibrate the battery is shown by thecharge and calibration lamps:When calibration is complete, the calibration and charge lamps willturn off and charging will begin immediately.Although calibration is recommended for accurate measurementof battery charge state, calibration need not be performed whenthe calibration lamp flashes. Once begun, calibration can beinterrupted as desired.• If the calibration button is not pressed while the calibration lampis flashing, normal charging will begin after about ten seconds.• To interrupt calibration, press the calibration button again.Calibration will end and charging will begin.Approximate time neededto recalibrate batteryCalibrationlampCharge lamps2 h 4 h 6 hOver 6 hours K (glows) K (glows) K (glows) K (glows)4 – 6 hours K (glows) K (glows) K (glows) J K (off )2 – 4 hours K (glows) K (glows) J K (off ) J K (off )Under 2 hours K (glows) J K (off ) J K (off ) J K (off )Chamberlamps (green)Charge lamps(green)Calibrationlamps (yellow)Calibrationbuttons
