Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger indicator light does not turn on. | No power, loose connection, or incompatible battery. | Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the charger and a working power source. Verify the battery is correctly inserted. Try a different USB port or power adapter. |
| Indicator light remains green but battery is not fully charged. | Battery not making proper contact or charger malfunction. | Remove and re-insert the battery, ensuring a firm connection. If the issue persists, test with another compatible battery if available. Some users have reported that the green light may appear prematurely; allow sufficient charging time (e.g., 6 hours for a depleted battery) before assuming full charge. |
| Battery does not fit securely in the charger. | Incompatible battery model or incorrect insertion. | Ensure you are using an NP-FV5 series battery. Double-check the orientation of the battery when inserting it into the charger slot. |
| Charging is slow. | Low power output from USB source. | Use a USB power adapter with a higher output (e.g., 5V/1A) for optimal charging speed. |
