optional battery pack, be sure
to read the following cautions:

...

do not burn.
do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away

from metallic objects when not in use. When
transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

•

To prevent damage and prolong service life

do not subject to unnecessary shock.
charge within the temperature range of 10°C
to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). 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.

keep a 30% battery level (X) if the battery pack
is not to be used for a long period of time.
In addition, fully charge and then fully discharge
the battery pack every 6 months, then continue
to store it at a 30% battery level (

X).

remove from charger or powered unit when not
in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
do not drop or subject to strong impact.

While the LCD monitor screen has more than

99.99% effective pixels, 0.01% of the pixels
may be bright spots (red, blue, green) or dark
spots. This is not a malfunction. The spots will
not be recorded.

ATTENTION:

The product you have purchased
is powered by a rechargeable
battery that is recyclable.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for
information on how to recycle this
battery.
