∫Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion 
battery. Its ability to generate power is 
based upon the chemical reaction that 
takes place inside it. This reaction is 
susceptible to the surrounding temperature 
and humidity, and, if the temperature is too 
high or too low, the operating time of the 
battery will be shorter.
Be sure to remove the battery after use. 
Store the removed battery in the battery 
carrying case.
When you go out, bring charged spare
