Caution
• The battery pack isn't fully charged when shipped. It must be
charged before use.
• Charging should be conducted in a temperature range of 0ºC to
+40ºC (+32ºF to +104ºF).
• Don't modify, dismantle, incinerate or immerse the battery pack in
the water as this can be dangerous.
• Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals, as this can cause
damage to the equipment or lead to heating of the battery which
may cause burns.
• Unnecessary prolonged charging (overcharging) can deteriorate
battery performance.
• The battery pack should be stored in a dry place where
temperature is in -10ºC to +40ºC (14ºF to 104ºF) range.
Temperatures outside this range can cause the battery liquid to
leak. Exposure to prolonged high humidity can cause corrosion of
metal components.
• Battery-packs are a consuming part. When its operating time
becomes considerably short after a normal charge, please
consider that the pack is exhausted and replace it with a new one.
• The battery pack is recyclable. Check with your local waste
officials for details on recycling options or proper disposal in your
area.
