The Battery and Charger
Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages xi–xii and 174–175 of this manual. Do not 
use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F). Charge 
the battery indoors at ambient temperatures between 5–35°C (41–95°F); for best results, 
charge the battery at temperatures above 20°C (68°F). Battery capacity may temporarily 
drop if the battery is charged at low temperatures.
The battery may be hot immediately after use. Wait for the battery to cool before 
recharging.
Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use.
