Charging
The lithium-ion battery can provide between 300-500 charge/discharge cycles. The
lithium-ion battery is different from most other rechargeable batteries as charging
from a partially charged battery keeps the battery in great condition, whereas other
batteries prefer to be fully discharged each time before recharging. Fully discharging
the lithium-ion battery should be avoided wherever possible.
For most users, charging the battery at the end of each day would be the ideal choice.
The lithium-ion battery pack typically lasts about 2-3 years, but potentially longer if
cared for correctly.
When charging the battery, use a dedicated charger and follow the specified
conditions.
Do not use or charge the battery close to fire or inside a car in which the
temperature may exceed 60° C.
Stop charging the battery if charging is not completed within the specified time.
Thoroughly read this manual before charging the battery.
The battery can be charged within a 0° C to 45° C temperature range.
Use the battery only in the specified equipment.
Do not charge the battery in a place where static electricity is generated, or let
the battery touch something that is statically charged.
Charge the battery as follows:
1.
Connect the charger cable to the communications cable (Figure 5).
2.
Connect the communications cable to the unit (Figure 5).
3.
Charge for a minimum of 2 hours, but no more than 3 hours.
CAUTION
:
DO NOT OVERCHARGE.
