Handling instructions
•Recharging charged/half-charged batteries will shorten their service life. We
therefore recommend that you run out of the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH
batteries before recharging them.
•To avoid short-circuiting, keep the batteries from any metallic object.
• If the battery runs out soon after recharging, either its contacts are dirty or its
service life has come to an end.
