7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Batteries not charging. | Incorrect charger type; faulty charger; poor contact; battery fully charged. | Ensure charger is for NiMH batteries. Try a different charger. Clean battery and charger contacts. Check if battery is already full. |
| Device not powering on. | Batteries inserted incorrectly; batteries not charged; device malfunction. | Verify correct polarity (+/-). Recharge batteries. Test device with known working batteries. |
| Reduced operating time. | Batteries not fully charged; aging batteries; high-drain device. | Ensure full charge cycle. Batteries have a finite lifespan (approx. 1000 cycles). For very high-drain devices, operating time will naturally be shorter. |
| Batteries feel warm during charging/use. | Normal operation; overcharging; faulty battery/charger. | Slight warmth is normal. Excessive heat indicates a problem. Discontinue use/charging if excessively hot. Ensure proper ventilation. |
