lowing conditions:

it to draw an abnormally high current, the machine
automatically stops and the main power lamp blinks in
green. In this situation, turn the machine o and stop
the application that caused the machine to become
overloaded. Then turn the machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the machine or battery is overheated, the
machine stops automatically and the main power lamp
lights up in red. In this case, let the machine and battery
cool before turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine
stops automatically and the main power lamp blinks in
red. In this case, remove the battery from the machine
and charge the battery cartridges or change the battery
cartridges to fully charged ones.
Protections against other causes

could damage the machine and allows the machine to
stop automatically. Take all the following steps to clear
the causes, when the machine has been brought to a
