Observe the following precautions when handling batteries: - Turn the product off before replacing the battery. - Batteries may be hot after extended use. - Keep the battery terminals clean.
  • Page 867 • Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below −10 °C (14 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). Failure to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance. Charge the battery indoors at ambient temperatures of 5 °C–35 °C (41 °F–95 °F). The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
  • Page 868 Have Fully-Charged Spare Batteries Ready on Cold Days ● Partially-charged batteries may not function on cold days. In cold weather, charge one battery before use and keep another in a warm place, ready to be exchanged as necessary. Once warmed, cold batteries may recover some of their charge.

  • Page 869: Cautions: Using The Charger

    Cautions: Using the Charger • Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging; failure to observe this precaution could in very rare instances result in the charger showing that charging is complete when the battery is only partially charged.
