other charger may irreparably damage the Battery Pack or the charger
and may cause fire.
Do not charge the built-in and removable batteries immediately after
moving the device and batteries from a cold place to a warm place. Wait
at least 30 minutes for the device and batteries to warm up.
It is not recommended to charge the batteries with a charger connected
to the USB port of a computer or laptop. It can damage the computer.

Recommendations for
Battery Use
For long-term storage, the built-in and removable batteries should be
partially charged – from 50 to 80%.
Batteries should be charged at an ambient temperature of 0 °C ... +35
°C. Otherwise, battery life will be significantly reduced.
When using batteries at sub-zero ambient temperatures, the battery
capacity decreases, this is normal and not a defect.
Do not use batteries at temperatures outside the range of -25 °C … +50
°C – it may reduce the battery life.
The battery has a short-circuit protection. Any situation that may cause
short-circuiting, however, should be avoided.

Merger LRF binoculars are supplied with a removable and rechargeable
APS3 lithium-ion battery pack and a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion
battery. The batteries should be charged before first use.
