Maintenance Features

Battery Care:
- Use original rechargeable lithium batteries.
- Charge the battery when power is low.
- To maintain battery life, it's recommended to deplete the battery's power before charging.
- Remove the charger from the power supply when not in use. Avoid connecting the charger to the battery for more than one week to prevent shortening battery life.
- Temperature affects charging limits; the battery may need to be cooled or warmed.
- Prevent short-circuiting the battery by avoiding contact between conductive materials and the battery's positive and negative terminals.
- Do not use damaged batteries.
- Avoid placing the battery in extremely cold or hot places, as this shortens battery life and can cause device malfunction.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Dispose of waste batteries properly at recycling stations, following local laws and regulations.
Device Handling:
- Avoid using the device in special places like airports, hospitals, or gas stations where electronic equipment is restricted.
- Do not use while driving a vehicle.
