PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY AND CHARGER
1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0 – 40°C.
Charging the battery at temperatures outside the range
of 0 – 40°C may prevent proper charging and reduce
battery life.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20
– 25°C.
2. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
Do not charge the battery more than 2 hours.

connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
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.
