6. USING THE BATTERY
Be sure to charge the battery fully before using it for the first time or after not using it for long periods.
• The charger will become rather hot during use. This is normal.
• Do not use batteries other than those designated.
• The charger is for indoor use only. Do not use outdoors.
• Batteries cannot be charged, even when the charging lamp is flashing, when the temperature is outside the
charging temperature range.
• Do not charge the battery just after charging is completed. Battery performance may decline.
• Remove batteries from the charger before putting into storage.
• When not in use, disconnect the power cable plug from the wall outlet.
• Store the battery in a dry room where the temperature is within the following ranges. For long-term storage,
the battery should be charged at least once every six months.
• Batteries generate power using a chemical reaction and as a result have a limited lifetime. Even when in
storage and not used for long periods, battery capacity deteriorates with the passage of time. This may result
in the operating time of the battery shortening despite having been charged correctly. In this event, a new
battery is required.
