Rechargeable Batteries

WARNING

This device contains Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit, or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions (page 19).

The rechargeable Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are not memory sensitive and do not require depletion before charging. Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.

The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use (24 hours).

When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge (12 hours). This should be done once every 4 to 6 weeks.

To maximize battery life, after initial charge, it is not recommended to leave the battery plugged in for more than 12 hours.

If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience a decrease in battery life the first few uses. Afterwards, the battery life will return to previous capacity levels.
