If the low- battery warning indicator is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace the battery.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not crush, puncture or dispose of used batteries in fire or water. Only replace them with manufacturer-specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly.
