● It takes 5 hours to discharge and 5 hours to recharge� Therefore, total of about 10 hours are
required�
● This function is not required for each charging� Try this function, if the operating time is shortened
even if the battery is relatively new�
● Do not repeat activation and deactivation of the refresh mode in a short time� It may result in
enhancement of the memory effect�
● This function is fully effective for solution of the “memory effect�” However, it cannot be solved
completely at one time due to characteristics of the battery� We recommend you repeat this
process a few times as necessary�
