About replacing the battery
If battery replacement is required, please contact the store or service center
(Battery replacement is a paid service).
The replacement schedule varies with the operating environment, temperature
or charging habits. However, the battery has to be replaced if the range per
battery charge becomes too short, the battery does not recover and the
performance of the product deteriorates.
(In the winter, the range per battery charge reduces due to low temperatures.
It recovers as the temperature goes up, so battery replacement is not
required).
