ABOUT
BATTERIES--------------
New
batteries
Purchase the new (freshest) batteries possible.
Temperature
Battery life ratings are based
on
operation at 20°C
(68°F). At other temperatures, battery life
is
shortened.
For low temperature operation, keep spare batteries
and if possible, use NiCd batteries.
Continuous
use
Batteries are drained much more quickly by continu-
ous use than by intermittent use.
Storage
Store batteries
in
a cool, dry place below 20°C (68°F).
Battery

and old batteries.

assemble batteries.
