When the unit is not going to be
used for a prolonged period
≥
Be absolutely sure to remove the
batteries from the unit.
≥
If the batteries are left inside the
unit, a faint current will flow
continuously, even when the unit's
power is off, gradually discharging
the batteries. (For details on nickel
metal hydride batteries, refer to
P11.)
≥
Store the batteries in a cool,
moisture-free location where the
temperature is kept as constant as
possible.
(Recommended temperature
range: 15 °C to 25 °C;
recommended humidity range:
40% to 60%)
≥
If you plan to store the unit and/or
its batteries inside a closet or
cupboard, it is recommended that
you put a desiccant (silica gel) in
with them.
