In that case, charge the bat¦tery untilcharging is completed for appropriate function-ing of the battery.• When battery pack is not in use, keep it awayfrom other metal objects like: paper clips,coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metalobjects that can make a connection from oneterminal to another.Shorting the battery terminals together maycause sparks, burns or a fire.• When operating with a Ni-MH battery pack,make sure the place is well-ventilated.Ni-Cd Battery pack(EY9106/EY9136)• Nickel cadmium battery pack requires a“BREAK-IN PERIOD” to reach maximum oper-ating capacity. The “BREAK-IN PERIOD” isaccomplished during normal usage during thefirst 6-8 charge and discharge cycles of thebattery pack.After the “BREAK-IN PERIOD” is completed,the battery pack will maintain maximum operat-ing capacity throughout the normal life of thebattery pack.Battery Pack LifeThe rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If theoperation time becomes extremely short afterrecharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.Note: Use under extremely hot or cold conditionswill reduce operating capacity per charge.
