JVC XL-PG31 Rechargeable batteries, Dry cell batteries/rechargeable batteries, When driving a car

Cautions

Rechargeable batteries

•Only the BN-R1211 battery can be recharged.

•If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is over. Do not use them any more.

•Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service life.

•When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular state.

•Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.

•Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.
