Operating tips for timer charge
. Charging timer is performed according to the
current time setting on the bottom left of the
display. When setting the charging timer
function, be sure to check that the current
time displayed is correct.
. The Li-ion battery may not be fully charged if
the charging timer start time and end time are
set such that there is not enough time to
charge the Li-ion battery.
. When either the charge start time or charge
end time is set, the charging timer function is
activated.
. When only the charging timer end time is set,
the system automatically determines when to
begin charging based on the Li-ion battery
charge level. The Li-ion battery may not be
fully charged if the charging timer end time is
set such that there is not enough time to
charge the Li-ion battery.
. When only the charging timer end time is set,
the system automatically starts charging so
that the Li-ion battery will be fully charged by
the set end time. Charging may stop before
the scheduled end time but this is not a
malfunction. .
To turn off the charging timer function, touch
[ON] on the timer charge setting screen until
the indicator lights are turned off. Touch
[Save] to apply the setting. If the settings
shown on the screen are correct, touch [OK].
After this operation has been performed, the
charging timer function is turned off. The
start and stop time settings are not deleted,
even if the charging timer function is turned
off.
. If the day of the week is not selected on the
timer charge setting screen, the charging
timer will not operate on that day. The system
will wait until the next set charging time to
perform charging.
. The timer setting can be changed while timer
charge is in operation. When the setting is
changed while timer charge is in operation,
the new settings are applied immediately and
charge operation stops once. After this, if the
power position is switched to OFF, charge
operation starts or enters waiting mode
depending on the new timer settings.
. When charging is set as the first priority, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until 10
segments (80%) of the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge are illuminated.
