pack
In the following
cases the operating
time of the
battery
pack will be shorter than normal, even
after a full charge:
If the battery pack is used for the first time.

conditions.
If it is stored in a fully charged or partially
charged condition.
If the charge is completely exhausted and it is
stored for a long period (more than 3 months).
If stored at temperatures
above 40-C
(104.F).

condition after it has been used until
completely
discharged and recharged,
or after
it has been recharged
using the Refresh

(sold
separately)
two or three times.
The following
operations
also require power, and
will shorten the operating
time.
