Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
This battery is easily affected by temperature and humidity, and is affected more when the
temperature is high or low.
The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage.
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been
used in some time.
The battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
The battery will discharge if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the power plug terminals.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
Frequently charging the battery is not recommended.
(Frequently charging the battery reduces the maximum usage time and can cause the
battery to expand.)
If the available battery capacity is significantly reduced, it is reaching end of lifespan.
Please purchase a new battery.
When charging:
• Wipe dirt from the battery terminals with a dry cloth.
• Keep at least 1m (3feet) away from an AM radio (it may cause radio interference).
Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (this
can cause malfunction).
Charger
Depending on the environment while charging, the charging light may flicker due to
static electricity or electromagnetic fields, etc. This has no effect on charging.
Keep at least 1m (3feet) away from an AM radio (may cause radio interference).
The charger may generate whirring sounds when it is being used. This is not a
malfunction.
After use, be sure to disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet. (A very small
amount of current is consumed if it is left connected.)
Keep the terminals of the charger and battery clean. When they get dirty, clean with a
dry cloth.
