NOTE
NOTE
z
The battery pack may become warm
during recharging or normal use.
This is completely normal.
z
Recharging will not commence if
internal temperature of the battery
pack is outside of the allowable tem-
perature range (0 °C to 45 °C {32°F
to 122°F}). Once the allowable range
requirement is satisfied, charging
begins automatically. Note that the
recharging time varies based on the
usage conditions. (Recharging takes
longer than usual when the tempera-
ture is 10 °C {50°F} or below.)
z
If the temperature is low, the operat-
ing time is shortened. Only use the
equipment within the allowable tem-
perature range.
z
The battery pack is a consumable
item. If the amount of time the equip-
ment can be run by using a particular
battery pack becomes dramatically
shorter and repeated recharging
does not restore its performance, the
battery pack should be replaced with
a new one.
z
When transporting a spare battery
inside a package, briefcase, etc., it is
recommended that it be placed in a
plastic bag so that its contacts are
protected.
z
Always power off the equipment
when it is not in use. Leaving the
equipment on when the AC adaptor
is not connected will exhaust the
remaining battery capacity.
