Low Battery Indication
•
As the battery discharges during use, the
voltage will gradually become lower. When
the battery voltage is too low for reliable op-
eration, the “
” icon will blink on the LCD
display, indicating that the battery pack must
be recharged before further use.
•
Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries before the “
” indicator is observed, as
this can degrade the charge capacity of your Li-Ion battery pack.
