Cautions on recharging
• Avoid charging in direct sunlight or in a
vehicle parked under direct sunlight, and
make sure to charge only when the ambient
temperature is between 41°F and 104 °F
(5 and 40°C).
• Before charging, be sure that no dust or
other foreign objects attach to the USB
plug.
• Do not subject the light to vibrations while
charging.
• Once charging is complete, be sure to
disconnect the USB plug.
Cautions in use
• Charging, discharging, and storing in high
temperatures will cause the rechargeable
battery to deteriorate faster. Do not place
the light inside a vehicle or near a heater.
• When the operating time decreases signifi-
cantly, the battery life is close to an end.
Replace the cartridge battery with a new one.
Cautions on storage
• Cool and dry storage is recommended.
For long period storage, it is important
to charge the battery 30 minutes every 6
months.
• When you store the cartridge battery alone,
be sure to install the cap. Otherwise, dam-
age or a fire may be caused by short circuit.
Cautions for dispose
Dispose of used cartridge batteries appropri-
ately according to local regulations.
