4. BATTERY INFORMATION
Your device is powered by a rechargeable
battery. The full performance of a new battery
is achieved only after two or three complete
charge and discharge cycles. The battery can
be charged and discharged hundreds of times,
but it will eventually wear out. Recharge
your battery only with compatible chargers
designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug
and the device when not in use. Do not leave a
fully charged battery connected to a charger,
since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If
left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Leaving the device in hot or cold places,
like in a closed car under summer or winter
conditions will reduce the capacity and lifetime
of the battery. Always try to keep the battery
between 15° and 25°. A device with a hot
or cold battery may not work temporarily,
even when the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they
may explode. Batteries may also explode
if damaged. Dispose of batteries according
to local regulations. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
