NAMES OF CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
÷ A rechargeable lithium-ion battery is
the only kind that can be used.
Even if the battery supplied with the
unit is not used, you should charge it
at least once every three months
because of the special quality of this
battery.
÷ The rechargeable battery can be
charged approximately 300 times.
÷ Do not use any battery other than
that specified. Use of other batter-
ies maycause malfunctions.
÷ When the operating time is reduced
to about half the normal amount of
time, even after a full charge is per-
formed, replace the battery with a
new one.
÷ When charging or when using the
rechargeable battery, use it within
an ambient temperature range of
5°C to 35°C.
÷ If the rechargeable battery is used in
a cold environment, the operating
time will decrease.
Since the rechargeable battery is
vulnerable to damage, please note
the following.
÷ Do not carry the battery in your
pocket or a bag together with metal
objects (keys, coins, jewelry, etc.).
The battery may short out and gen-
erate significant amounts of heat.
÷ Do not short-circuit the terminals as
they will become very hot and will
damage the battery.
÷ Do not dip the battery in water, do
not dispose of it in a fire, and do not
take it apart.
To avoid damaging the battery and
shortening its service life, please
note the following.
÷ Do not drop or subject the battery to
shock.
÷ Do not insert objects (metal etc.)
into the battery compartment of this
product or into the rechargeable bat-
tery. Do not get the terminals dirty.
If the rechargeable terminals are
dirty, the operating time may be
shortened or it may not be possible
to charge the battery.
÷ After the rechargeable battery is
charged or used, it will get slightly
warm. This is normal.
