Other features
Note 1: The charging time depends on the environment temperature and the USB specification. Do not use any other batteries
different from Ni-MH battery.
Note 2: The battery voltage may drop to low voltage impossible to charge after this product is not us e d over a prolonged period.
Uninstall and charge the batteries by dedicated charger.
Note 3: The voltage of battery may drop sharply while the feeding current is large. This is because of the internal impedance of
battery and this depends on specification of battery. Use batteries with large capacity when feeding current is large. Change
batteries when battery performance becomes lo w because batteries are expendable supplies.
Note 4: The current of charging or feeding depend on the specification of the devices connected. (e.g. USB Battery Charging
Specification corresponding. etc.) This product detects if the device connected is correspond to USB Batter y Char gi ng
Specification or not, and controls the charging current according to USB specification.
Note 5: Android is a trademark of Google Inc.
Note 6: This product will enter to sleep mode when the un-used period is long than 30 seconds in standalone operation.
