Batteries self-discharge while they are not in use. Be sure to charge them
regularly before use.
2 Battery life

3 Operating temperature
Batteries are chemical products. Battery efficiency may change for a time even
within the recommended temperature range, but this is not a malfunction.
Note:
New batteries or batteries that have not been used for a long time (more than one
month) may not be fully charged. This is not a malfunction, but is a characteristic of the
battery. Charge them two or three times before using them for the first time or
when they have not been used for a long period.
When you dispose of dead batteries always observe the laws and regulations
regarding the disposable of such items.
If NiMH rechargeable batteries are not fully discharged, protect against short-
circuiting (e.g. by taping the contacts) before disposing.
