Operating temperature Rechargeable batteries, such as the battery pack, are chemical products. Batteries efficiency may fluctuate even when operating within the recommended temperature range. This is an inherent nature of such products. Recommended temperature range for use Discharging (when using appliance): 0°C - 42°C/32°F - 107.6°F Charging: 5°C - 40°C/41°F - 104°F Storage: —20°C - 30°C/-4°F - 86°F Using the battery pack outside the above temperature range may result in declining efficiency and shorter battery life. In order to prevent battery leakage or rust, remove the battery pack from the products when you will not be using them for a long time, and store them separately.

+ This recorder is designed to fully charge battery pack regardless of their energy level. However, for best results when charging newly purchased battery pack or battery pack that have not been used for a long time (more than one month), t is recommended to fully charge the battery pack then discharge repeatedly for 2 to 3 times.
