- Do not plug several devices into the same outlet.
- Do not use a rechargeable battery or charger that is defective.
- When using the rechargeable battery for the first time or after several months of
non-use, fully charge it first.

- To prolong the life of your battery, use the fully charged battery until it is completely discharged,
and then fully charge it again before use. If you charge the battery that is not completely drained,
the battery operating time will decrease. In this case, fully cycle (fully charge and then fully discharge)
the battery several times.
