Please perform charging at a location satisfying
the following conditions.

• A location not exposed to direct sunlight

Do not use (discharge) the battery while
charging.
Always perform charging in an environment
with a normal temperature (0ºC to 45ºC).
nOTe: As the battery temperature is higher
directly after riding, charging may not start, but
this is not a defect. Charging will also not start
when the temperature is too low (0ºC or lower).
When the temperature inside the battery is
not suitable, the orange charging standby
lamp continues to flash, and charging starts
when the temperature inside the battery is in
the range from 0ºC to 45ºC. For this reason,
charging may take time.
