I-Mh Battery pack”.
Note:
Do not use Manganese batteries or Ni-Cd batteries in place of
Alkaline batteries.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Mixing old and new
batteries or mixing types (such as Alkaline with zinc carbon) will
reduce overall performance and could cause leakage or rupture.
Remove all batteries from the case when it is not expected to be in
use for several months.
The voltage of new Alkaline batteries varies slightly, depending on
the manufacturer. Thus, the high battery power indicator may not
appear even though new Alkaline batteries are installed {page 54}.
To lift the battery pack safety catch, use a piece of hardened
plastic or metal, such as a screwdriver, that is no more than 6 mm
wide and 1 mm thick. It is imperative that you place the implement
under only the lip of the safety catch so that you do not damage the
release latch.
