Keep the battery pack in a dry environment between 0 °C and +30 °C. The lower the temperature
at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the
battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent total discharge, check the
charging level of the batteries at regular intervals.
If you do not use batteries for long periods, remove them from the device.
Never store batteries in the unit.
