The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two
or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can
be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. When the operation time becomes
noticeably shorter than normal, check an authorized reseller to
purchase a new battery.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the
battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip or pen causes direct connection of the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look
like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example,
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
connecting object.
The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the
battery is left in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter. Always try to keep the battery between 15
°
C
and 25
°
C (59
°
F and 77
°
F). A device with a hot or cold battery
may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is especially limited in temperatures well
below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do
not dispose as household waste.
Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the
battery, which could affect performance.
