DThe Battery and Charger

Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages xviii–xx and 364–367 of this manual. To prevent short-circuits, replace the terminal cover

when the battery is not in use.

Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F). Charge indoors at ambient temperatures in the vicinity of 5–35°C (41–95°F); for best results, charge the battery at temperatures above 20°C (68°F). Battery capacity may temporarily drop if the battery is charged at low temperatures or used at a temperature below the temperature at which it was charged. If the

battery is charged at a temperature below 5°C (41°F), the battery life indicator in the Battery info (0 307) display may show a temporary

decrease.

The battery may be hot immediately after use. Wait for the battery to cool before recharging.

Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use.
