Dry cell batteries/
• Do not use the rechargeable batteries
accompanying this unit with any other
product.
•Oniy the RP-BP60 batteries can be re
charged.
• If the power supplied by the batteries
lasts for only a very short time even after
recharging this, it means that the batter
ies are reaching the end of their service
life. Do not use them any more.
•Recharging for more than 24 hours will
reduce battery life.
•When recharging the batteries for the
first time or when recharging them after
they have not been used for a long pe
riod of time, the play time may be shorter
than usual. If this is the case, repeatedly
recharge the batteries after use. This will
restore them to their normal operational
state.
• Recharging should be performed at
0°C-40“C.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch
the terminals of the rechargeable batter
ies, as this may cause short-circuiting
which is dangerous.
Rechargeable batteries
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or bat
teries of different types (carbon and alka
line, etc.).
•Always remove old, weak or worn-out
batteries promptly and dispose of them
properly.
• Never subject batteries to excessive heat
or flame; do not attempt to disassemble
