* Measured by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology

Industries Association) standards. The actual battery life may vary
depending on  the  circumstance  of the  unit.

accidentally contacted by a metallic object.

• When you are  not going to use  the unit for a long time, remove the

battery to avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
