-Storing it fully charged (right after being completely charged).
-Storing it fully depleted (used up to the point where it does not
power on Mobile Router).
This might diminish Mobile Battery's performance and life span.
It is best to store Mobile Battery when its Battery LED is level 3.
•When radios or televisions produce static, distance and use Mobile
Battery as far away from radios and televisions, etc., as possible.
•Cautions pertaining to connecting Mobile Battery to Mobile
Router.
-Even if Mobile Router is connected to a PC via Mobile Battery, data
transfers cannot be performed via USB mode.
