Internal battery

Li-ion00

(The internal battery of the product is a 
lithium-ion battery.)
The internal battery is not fully charged at 
the time of purchase.
Charge the battery before using the 
product. Also charge the battery before 
using the product if you have not used the 
product for a long time.

 

Using the product in very hot or cold environments, for 
example, when left in an automobile with the windows 
closed in summer, will cause the internal battery 
capacity to drop and shorten the available battery 
usage time. This also shortens the internal battery's 
service life. Try to use the internal battery as far as 
possible at room temperature.

 

After the internal battery is charged, battery power 
decreases bit by bit even if the product is not used.

performance of an internal battery does not recover 
(e.g. the usable time after each charge has become 
extremely short), the internal battery is at the end of 
service life, so stop use. Since the battery is built-in, au 
Shop will keep the product and charges will be incurred 
for repair. You may not use the product for a certain 
period. Please be forewarned. Note that the length of 
service life varies depending on the usage condition, 
etc.
