LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Recharge the battery for first time use or after long period of storage:
The voltage of the battery may drop due to self-discharge during long
period of storage. Always fully charge the battery before use.
Cautions for charging and usage:
• Using a PC or USB battery charger with an output current of 500 mA or
more is recommended for charging.
• Be sure that no dust or other foreign objects are attached to the plug of
the USB cable before charging.
• Do not subject the light to vibrations while charging.
• When your PC is in sleep state, the unit cannot be charged.
• Once charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the USB cable from
the charging port.
• Charging and lighting times are approximate values, and will vary by
environmental and user conditions.
• Charging, discharging, and storing in high temperatures will cause the
rechargeable battery to deteriorate faster. Do not place the light inside a
vehicle or near a heater. Make sure to charge only when the ambient
temperature is between 41˚F and 104˚F (5°C and 40°C).
• If the illumination time is significantly reduced even after proper charging,
the rechargeable battery may be nearing the end of its service life.
Cautions on storage:
• If the device will not be used for a long period of time, store it in a
location that is not too hot or too humid.

local regulations.
