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.

shock design of this product, it is not
possible to replace the built-in battery.
If the operating time is very short even after
the battery has been recharged, the battery
has worn out.
