NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharging or normal use. This is com-
pletely normal.
Recharging will not commence outside of the allowable temperature range (0 °C to
45 °C {32°F to 113 °F}) page 18. 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 temperature
is 10 °C {50 °F} or less.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only use the equipment
within the allowable temperature range.
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount of time the equipment 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.
When a spare battery pack is to be carried in a pocket or bag, it is recommended that
it be placed in a plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
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.
Precaution
Avoiding low-temperature burns
Avoid more than casual contact with any heat producing area of the equipment,
AC adaptor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if
warmer than body temperature, can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to the
heat source for a long enough period of time.
