PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY AND CHARGER
1. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature of -10–40°C. A temperature of
less than -10°C will result in over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot
be charged at a temperature greater than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20–25°C.
2. Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger for about 15 minutes before
the next charging of battery.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the rechargeable
battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It
results in burn or damage to the battery.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in
fi
re.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
7. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.
8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased as soon as the post-
charging battery life becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of the
exhausted battery.
9. Do not insert objects into the air ventilation slots of the charger.
Inserting metal objects or
fl
ammable into the charger air ventilation slots will result
in an electrical shock hazard or damage to the charger.
