6.1.3 Tips for Using the Battery
• Charge the battery the day it is to be used or on the day before. A charged
battery that is unused, will gradually lose power over time.
• If the battery becomes exhausted quickly after being fully charged, replace
it with a new one.
• For best battery performance, an ambient temperature of 0°C (32°F) to
40°C (104°F) is recommended. In colder or warmer locations, battery
performance and operation time may temporarily decrease.
