contact with your skin or clothing, wash the area thoroughly with water.
•Only charge the battery in an environment with ambient temperatures between 0° and
40°C (32° and 104°F). Use the battery only in an environment with ambient tempera-
tures between 0° and 50°C (32°and 122°F). Store the battery in an environment with
ambient temperatures between –20° and 35°C(–4° and 95°F) and a humidity of 45%
to 85% RH.
