Charge the batteries at temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The device or
charging station always performs the battery charging in a safe and intelligent way. At
higher temperatures, such as about +37°C (+98°F), the device or charging station can
alternately activate and deactivate battery charging for a short time to keep the battery at
acceptable temperatures. The device and the charging station indicate via their LED when
charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures.
