... use only specified chargers.

2.To prevent damage and prolong service life . . .

... do not subject to unnecessary shock.

... charge in an environment where temperatures

are within the tolerances shown in the chart below. This is a chemical reaction type battery— cooler temperatures impede chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures can prevent complete charging.

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

... fully charge and then fully discharge the battery every 6 months when storing the battery pack over a long period time.

... remove from charger or powered unit when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

NOTES:

●It is normal for the battery pack to be warm after charging, or after use.

Temperature Range Specifications

Charging ................ 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) Operation ............... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) Storage ................... –10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)

●Recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C (68°F).

Cassettes

To properly use and store your cassettes, be sure to read the following cautions:

1.During use . . .
