Operating temperature
●
Batteries are chemical products. Battery efficiency may change for a time even
within the recommended temperature range, but this is not a malfunction.
Note:
New batteries or batteries that have not been used for a long time (more than one
month) may not be fully charged. This is not a malfunction, but is a characteristic of the
battery.
Charge them two or three times before using them for the first time or
when they have not been used for a long period.
●
When you dispose of dead batteries always observe the laws and regulations
regarding the disposable of such items.
●
If NiMH rechargeable batteries are not fully discharged, protect against short-
circuiting (e.g. by taping the contacts) before disposing.
