Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

It is good practice to have a spare battery pack around, especially when you
travel. The Li-Ion (lithium-ion) smart battery supplies more power than a
conventional NiMH (nickel metal-hydride) battery. With power
management, you get even more power on-the-go.

Attaching the Battery Compartment Cover

Each battery pack comes attached with a battery compartment cover. In
case the cover gets detached, follow these steps to re-attach the cover to
the battery.

1. Position the battery compartment

cover over the battery pack.

2. Using a little force, slide the

battery compartment cover over
the battery until both the cover
and the battery are firmly
attached.
