1.1 Charging the Battery

Battery Precautions

If the device is not used for a long period of time, the battery may lose its charge. Please recharge the battery following the steps described above in order to use your device.

Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.

Use only the supplied chargers to recharge the battery. Improperly charging a battery may damage it or the device.

Do not use an unauthorized battery. Use only the rechargeable battery that came with your product or that is listed in the user’s guide.

Open the device only to insert or change the battery. All other changes to this device are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.

Do not attempt to open the rechargeable battery or battery pack.

There are no user serviceable parts inside.

To avoid damage caused by leakage of the battery fluid, replace the battery or batteries once every two years regardless of how much the device has been used during that time.

Should a battery leak, the device may become damaged. Clean the battery compartment immediately, avoiding contact with your skin.

Keep batteries out of reach of small children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Do not dispose as household waste.
