∫ About the battery
The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to
humidity and temperature and the effect
increases the more the temperature rises or
falls. In cold areas, the remaining battery
power may run down about 5 minutes after
starting use. At high temperatures, the
protection function may be triggered, making
it impossible to use the unit.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥ If the battery is left inserted, a minute
amount of current continues to flow even
if the unit's power is off. Keeping the unit
in this state may result in over discharge
of the battery. The battery may become
unusable after it is charged.
≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl
bag so metal does not come into contact
with the terminals.
≥ The battery should be stored in a cool
place free from humidity, with as constant
temperature as possible. (Recommended
temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC
(59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended
humidity: 40% to 60%)
