Battery life
Battery life will vary according to
the frequency and length of use.
If the unit is left without being
charged for more than 6 months,
the charge will drain from the bat-
tery and their service life may be
shortened.
Therefore, even when not using
regularly, it is recommended that
the unit be recharged at least once
every 6 months.
