* Measured by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries

Association) standards. The actual battery life may vary depending on the
circumstance of the unit.

• Do not carry batteries with coins or other metallic objects. It can generate heat

if the positive and negative terminals of the batteries are accidentally contacted
by a metallic object.

• If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to

avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

• Do not use different types of batteries at the same time.
