DBattery pack life
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being fully charged, completely discharge it by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack
again.
If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little),
a new battery pack must be purchased.
Battery pack CAUTION
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-
rent may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a neck-
lace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or
placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
Keep battery contacts clean. Its a good idea to clean bat-
tery terminals once a week.
