SAFETY NOTICES
1.1 Precautions about the use of the product
• Be sure to use the dedicated power adapter for this product for charging and discharging, and never use an

• Avoid plugging in the power adapter for a long time, and stop charging after charging. When the product is
not in use, it is recommended to disconnect the power adapter to avoid battery damage caused by long-term
charging.
1.2 Precautions about the maintenance of lithium batteries
• Lithium batteries can be stored in a clean, dry, and ventilated room with an ambient temperature of -
5¡ rCâ ˘ Aˇ T35¡ rC and a relative humidity of not more than 75%. Avoid contact with corrosive substances and
keep away from fire and heat sources.
• Do not store the lithium battery with full charge for a long time. After long-term storage, it will easily cause
swelling, which will affect the discharge performance. The best storage voltage is about 3.8V for a single chip.
Fully charge before use and then use it, which can effectively avoid battery swelling.
