factory; charge it before use (refer to the battery
pack instruction manual).

DO NOT RECHARGE THE BATTERY PACK IF IT IS
ALREADY FULLY CHARGED. DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE
LIFE OF THE BATTERY PACK TO SHORTEN OR THE
BATTERY PACK MAY BE DAMAGED.

two or three times, the operating capacity will
increase to normal.
