Charging
• Attach the battery pack firmly.

Others
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when not in use for a long time. To disconnect
the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or
damaged.
• Do not bend the AC power cord (mains lead) forcibly, or put a heavy object on it. This
will damage the cord and may cause a fire or an electrical shock.

connecting plate. If this happens, a short may occur and the unit may be damaged.
• Always keep the metal contacts clean.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the unit.

– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
