NOTE
If a malfunction is displayed on the charger
Temporarily unplug the AC cable and the charger cable, and check for
damaged insulation.
If the charger cable is damaged, a short circuit between the terminals may

Before checking if the same malfunction is displayed when charging another
good battery, be sure to check the charger cable for any damages.
