BATTERY INFORMATION
The product has an internal, non-removable, rechargeable
battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the
device as you may damage the device. The battery can
be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. Recharge the battery only with
Sena approved chargers designated for this device. Use
of an unapproved charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C
(59°F and 77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. A device with a
hot or cold battery may not work temporarily. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well
below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Never
use any charger that is damaged. Operating times
are estimates only and depend on the devices used
together, features used, battery age and condition,
temperatures to which battery is exposed, and many
other factors.
