touch panel close to metals or other conductive materials, as it might cause
false operation of the touch panel.

■ Internal battery

● Use in very hot or cold environments, for example, when left in an

automobile with the windows closed in summer, will cause the internal
battery capacity to drop and shorten the available battery usage time. This
will also shorten the internal battery's service life. Try to use the internal
battery as much as possible at room temperature.

● The internal battery gradually discharges after charging even if the product

is not used. The internal battery may discharge completely after long time
no use. Charge before using the product.
