Notes on using the battery pack
•A warm battery pack may not be able to be fully recharged.
•Even when fully charged, battery packs gradually lose their charge naturally. Use the battery packs as soon as possible after recharging.
•To prolong the life of battery packs, store them in a cool place (about 20°C (68°F )), and charge in a place with an ambient temperature between 10°C and 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
•At low temperatures, the usable time of battery packs decreases. When the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F), usable time decreases by about 10%. (However, the usable time is affected by the power
