If the power goes off even though the battery
remaining indicator shows that the battery
pack has enough power to operate
Charge the battery pack fully again so that the
battery remaining indicator is corrected.

We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F).
