BATTERY
PACKS
The NB-P5U/P6U/P7U/P8U are nickel-cadmium batteries. Give attention to the following to make the most
Temperature ranges:
The recharging time is based on room temperature of 20°C.
The lower the temperature, the longer the recharging time.
For charging:
For operating:
For storing:

@This
is a chemical
reaction
type
battery;
its
properties are best maintained under the follow-
ing conditions:
1. Optimum charging takes place at temperatures
between 10°C and 35°C. Cooler temperatures
impede chemical
reaction. Warmer
tempera-
tures can prevent complete charging.
2. Store in a cool dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural dis-
charge and shorten service life.
3. Tota! natural discharge may occur during long
storage periods (uncharged storage is prefer-
able; recharge one day before use).
4. Remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use; some
machines use current even
when switched off.
@Do not apply shocks to the unit.
®Do not subject the unit to direct sunlight.
@Avoid
using the unit in extremely
hot or humid
places.
@ Avoid using the unit in places subject to vibrations.
