- To avoid the risk of fire, do not charge longer than the specified charge time of 12 hours.
- Do not plug several devices into the same outlet.
- Do not use a rechargeable battery or charger that is defective.
- When using the rechargeable battery for the first time or after several months of
non-use, fully charge it first.
- Overcharging or overdischarging will reduce the battery life.
- The rechargeable battery is a consumable item and its capacity will decrease gradually.
- To prolong the life of your battery, use the fully charged battery until it is completely discharged,
and then fully charge it again before use. If you charge the battery that is not completely
drained, the battery operating time will decrease. In this case, fully cycle (fully charge and then
fully discharge) the battery several times.
- Do not let metallic objects, such as necklaces or coins, come into contact with the terminals
(metallic parts) of the charger and the built-in rechargeable battery.
A fire or electric shock may result.
