chargers.

• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

• Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).

• Never leave the device in an unattended vehicle due to uncontrollable tempera-

tures that may be outside the desired temperature for this device.
