– charging in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or over 104°F (40°C).
– charging the battery in direct sunlight or in places with high humidity
(such as a bathroom).
• Do not use any battery pack other than the one specified in these instructions.
• It is normal for the battery pack to become warm during charging or after use.
• The supplied AC adapter is not intended to be serviced. In the event of a
malfunction, it should be replaced.
Notes on the battery pack

the battery pack to leak or get hot, which could cause personal injury.
