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.
