Notes on the Battery
• It is recommended that the battery always be left in the discharged state when not in use,
and charged before you use it.
• Avoid storing a fully charged battery, and do not store it in a place where the temperature
is high: this will damage the battery.
• Do not operate the battery at temperature below 14°F (-10°C) or above 113°F (45°C). At
extremely low temperatures operation time decreases, while at high temperature the
battery may be damaged.
• If the POWER lamp begins to flash during charging, remove the battery and then reattach
it to the AC adapter/charger. If the POWER lamp continues to flash after several attempts
to attach it, the battery is unable to take a charge and must be replaced.
• Do not attach a hot battery to the AC adapter/charger. Allow it to cool. Attaching a hot
battery to the AC adapter/charger causes the POWER lamp to flash.
THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY OR AC
ADAPTER/CHARGER.
THROWING THE BATTERY INTO FIRE OR EXPOSING IT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT
(ABOVE 140°F [60°C]) MAY CAUSE INJURY.
SHORTING THE BATTERY'S TERMINAL INCREASES RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
