Batteries

Caring for your Batteries
• Always handle batteries carefully.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object).
Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal
objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.
• Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
• Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery
life.
• Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.

recharge the battery.
