k Caution concerning the battery pack
iPeriodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the battery
pack. Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so
will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and
oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance
increases, the usable life of the batteries will diminish.
