Notes on Giarging
A Brand-new Battery
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, charge it
completely.
After Long Storage
Recharge the battery pack after a long period of storage. If the battery pack is charged
fully but not used for a long time (about 1 year), it becomes discharged. Charge it
again, but in this case the battery life will be shorter than normal. After several charging
and discharging cycles, the battery life will recover its original capacity.
Notes on the Terminals
If the terminals (metal parts on the back) are not clean, the battery charge
duration will be shortened.
When the terminals are not clean or when the battery pack has not been used for a long
time, repeatedly install and remove the battery pack a few times. This improves the
contact condition. Also, wipe the + and - terminals with a soft cloth or paper.
Be Sure to Observe the Following
• To prevent an accident caused by a short circuit, do not allow metal objects such
as a necklace to touch the battery terminals. Carry the battery pack attaching to
the terminal cover, [b]
• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Keep the battery pack dry.
• Do not open nor try to disassemble the battery pack.
• Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.
