Conditioning a battery
Batteries should be conditioned regularly to maintain their useful life. Condition a battery every

Battery x’ appears on the screen. Conditioning a battery is best done on an external charger.
Please, refer to instructions provided with the charger.
If you do not have an external charger, see section
“Cleaning and care” : “Conditioning a
