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.

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.
