Precautions
NOTE NOTE
The battery pack may become warm
during recharging or normal use.
This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if
internal temperature of the battery
pack is outside of the allowable tem-
perature range (0 °C to 45 °C {32°F
to 122°F}). Once the allowable range
requirement is satisfied, charging
begins automatically. Note that the
recharging time varies based on the
usage conditions. (Recharging takes
longer than usual when the tempera-
ture is 10 °C {50°F} or below.)
If the temperature is low, the operat-
ing time is shortened. Only use the
equipment within the allowable tem-
perature range.
The battery pack is a consumable
E
item. If the amount of time the equip-
ment can be run by using a particular
battery pack becomes dramatically
shorter and repeated recharging
does not restore its performance, the
battery pack should be replaced with
a new one.
When transporting a spare battery
inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is
recommended that it be placed in a
plastic bag so that its contacts are
protected.
Always power off the equipment
when it is not in use. Leaving the
equipment on when the AC adaptor
is not connected will exhaust the
remaining battery capacity.
