Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). The device or cradle always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37 °C (+98 °F))
the device or cradle may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the
battery at acceptable temperatures. The device and cradle indicates when charging is disabled due to
abnormal temperatures via its LED.
