Battery Charging Recommendations

The battery lifespan is estimated to 500 recharging cycles and is largely dependent on the conditions of

use. To maximize the lifespan of the batteries and battery charger, follow these recommendations:

•Do not recharge the battery until it is completely flat, as shown with red LED slow pulse on the

transmitter

•Always charge the batteries at temperatures between 0° and 45°C (the batteries will not become fully

charged at temperatures exceeding 45°C)

•Do not leave the battery charger or batteries in a direct sunlight

•Charge batteries at least once every six months

•Avoid short circuits between the battery contacts; do not carry charged batteries in toolboxes or next

to other metal objects (keys, coins, etc.)

•Always keep contacts clean
