Proper Use
How to Prolong the Battery (Li-ion Rechargeable Battery Pack)
Battery life becomes shorter due to the battery characteristics.
If the battery life lasts only for a short time even after charging, it is
considered to be almost dead. Exchange it with a new battery.
Battery life varies depending on the ambient air temperature /
conditions of use of the device. Depending on the usage
environment, the number of years that can be used may be short,
or the number of usable charge/discharge cycles may decrease.
If the battery has been left for a long time, recharge it before use.
Make sure to lock the battery cover before turn on the device.
DO NOT wet battery or handle with wet hands.
DO NOT give a shock or drop the battery.
DO NOT use the other batteries except the dedicated
rechargeable Li-ion battery (FHTBA122Y).
DO NOT use the other charger except the dedicated charging
Cradle (MBC-100).
Li-ion battery may bulge as a result of being left for a long term,
use environment and aging-deterioration. Exchange the battery
with a new one if the battery bulges.
Make sure to turn off the power when exchanging the battery.
Prohibition
vii
Operation in Cold Climate
If the temperature is below 0 ° C, the performance of the
battery deteriorates. Therefore, operation time may be
shortened or the power may suddenly turns off due to rapid
voltage drop in cold climates. The following methods are
recommended for a better operation.
Place a spare battery in a pocket etc. and keep it warm until
just before replacing the battery.
Keep the battery warm in such as a pocket until just before
replacing the battery. When warming battery with a pocket
warmer etc., do not place the pocket warmer directly to the
battery.
The optimal room temperature for charging battery is 10～
30°C.
How to Handle Batteries
Handle the device with care not to adhere foreign substance
such as dust or sand to the terminal part. If foreign substance
adheres on the battery, please remove it completely with a
soft cotton swab, etc. After cleaning, repeat attach and detach
the battery pack on the charger several times.
Even if the battery is charged, it spontaneously discharges
little by little. Recharge the battery before use (within 1-2
days).
Store the battery in a cool place and charge it at a
temperature around10-30℃.These methods help to lengthen
battery life.
Long Storage
For the storage of MID-100, avoid vibration, dust, high
temperature, low temperature, high humidity, direct sunlight.
To prevent battery drain, remove the battery when not in use for a
long term (one month or more).
If the uncharged term is over three months, charge the battery
periodically for three months. The battery rapidly deteriorates if it
is left for more than one month with full discharge.
