Special rechargeable batteries
Ordinary dry cell batteries/rechargeable batteries
≥If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharg- ing, the batteries have reached the end of their service life. Replace them with the recommended replace- ments.
≥Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging batteries for the first time or after they have been un- used for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and dis- charge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to normal.
∫Care
To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and short-circuiting, heed the following points.
≥Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use if the covering has been peeled off.
≥Align the poles + and - correctly when inserting the batteries.
≥Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries.
