storage and maintenance
The service life of the devices depends on careful use:
Important:
• Remove the battery if the device is not in use for an extended period.
• You will get the maximum capacity from your battery if you run down the
battery at least once every six months. To do this, disconnect the device
from the mains and run the battery down through normal use. Then fully
charge the battery up again.
• The maximum battery capacity can only be reached after it has been
charged several times and is dependent on many factors (battery state,
ambient temperature, means and frequency of charging, etc.).
• Protect the devices from knocks, damp, dust, chemicals, drastic changes
in temperature, electromagnetic fields and nearby sources of heat (ovens,
heaters).
• If dirty, wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
• Clean the device with a dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning
products.
