Battery safety
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger
before removing the battery. When you unplug a charger or
an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical
plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the
battery’s lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will
lose its charge over time.
Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and
77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime
of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not
work temporarily.
Accidental short-circuiting can happen when a metallic object
touches the metal strips on the battery, for example, if you
carry a spare battery in your pocket. Short-circuiting may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or shred
cells or batteries. If a battery leaks, do not let battery liquid
touch skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush the
affected areas with water, or seek medical help.
Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign
objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or
other liquids. Batteries may explode if damaged.
Use the battery and charger for their intended purposes only.
Improper use, or use of unapproved batteries or chargers may
present a risk of fire, explosion, or other hazard, and may
invalidate any approval or warranty. If you believe the battery
or charger is damaged, take it to a service centre for
inspection before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged
battery or charger. Only use the charger indoors.
