Troubleshooting/Cautions

Battery Pack

Troubleshooting

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:

Terminals

•

To avoid hazards

...

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.

do not modify or disassemble. do not expose the battery to temperatures

exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire. use only specified 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 (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).
