Tips for Using the Battery

• Charge the battery the day it is to be used or on the day before. A charged
battery unused will gradually lose power over time.
• If the battery becomes exhausted quickly after being fully charged, replace it
with a new one.
• For best battery performance, an ambient temperature of 5°C (41°F) to 35°C
(95°F) is recommended. In colder or warmer locations, battery performance
and operation time may temporarily decrease.
Charging the Battery with the PowerDock Battery
Charger
The charger can be used in foreign countries. It is compatible with a 100 V AC to
240 V AC 50/60 Hz power source. Use a plug adapter for other countries.
1 Connect the power supply unit cable to the power socket of the PowerDock
charger. Confirm the direction of the power supply's plug (see Figure 5-1). If
you forcibly insert the plug in a wrong direction, the plug, the PowerDock's
power socket as well as the PowerDock itself can be damaged.
2 Connect the AC power cable to the power supply as well as to a power outlet.
Check the input voltage on the type label before connecting. LED 1 of the
PowerDock should illuminate blue, which means that power is connected to
the PowerDock.
