● Do not use a damaged internal rechargeable battery or charger.
● Do not charge the rechargeable battery for longer than the specified time.
● Charge the battery fully when using the battery for the first time or when using the battery
after a few months of non-use.
● Charge the battery fully, use it until it is completely discharged, and recharge it again to
ensure a long lifetime. Charging the battery after a short use may shorten the lifetime of the
battery. In this case, repeat charging the battery completely and discharging it completely
several times. Then you can use the battery for a longer time.
● Over-charging and over-discharging shortens the life time of the rechargeable battery.
● When the use time of a rechargeable battery is significantly shorter than a new one, replace
the battery with a new one.
● Since a rechargeable battery is an expendable supply, the use time of a battery decreases
over time.
● Take care not to short-circuit the DC converter terminals or the rechargeable battery
(metallic parts) with any conductors such as a necklace, bracelet etc. There is a danger of
electric shock or fire.
