Warning: To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, heat above 60oC (140oF), or dispose of in fire or water. Replace only with manufacturer specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations.

Install and Charge the Battery

New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can use your device, you need to install and charge the battery. To install the battery, slide the battery cover off, and then insert the battery by aligning the exposed copper part of the battery pack with the protruding copper conductor.
