Cautions
.
Battery Pack
The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the supplied battery pack or an optional battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:
To avoid hazards
... do not burn. ... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects when not in use. When transporting, make sure the provided battery cap is attached to the battery. If the battery cap
is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic bag. ... do not modify or disassemble. ... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery
to overheat, explode or catch fi re. ... use only specifi ed chargers.
To prevent damage and prolong service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock. ... charge within the temperature range of 10°C
to 35°C. Cooler temperatures require longer
charging time, or in some cases stop charging
at all. Warmer temperatures prevent complete
charging, or in some cases stop charging at all. ... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life. ... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery
every 6 months when storing the battery pack
over a long period of time.
... remove from charger or powered unit when not
in use, as some m
when switched off.
