7.5 Recommendations for using the battery.
• Change the battery, at the latest, when the light starts to flicker.
•
Switch the device off before removing the battery.
•
This also applies for changing or adding another battery in models with several
battery compartments. Switch the light off before adding or changing the battery
and do not insert other batteries into the compartment while the light is being used.
•
Do not let the battery charge level go too low, and charge up your battery as
soon as possible. This ensures the longer battery life.
•
Please remove the battery from its compartment after using your device.
•
Please remove the battery from the battery compartment while transporting
or storing the device. This is to prevent damage to the battery holders during
transportation and prevents the battery becoming uncharged unintentionally.

To maintain the performance of your battery, we recommend letting the battery
run down completely and then recharging it around once a month.
