About the batteries

∫ Types of batteries that can be used

• AAA EVOLTA/AAA EVOIA batteries (new Panasonic battery) can

be used, too.

• The performance of the batteries used may significantly differ

depending on which battery brand is used, how long the batteries

have been stored since they were manufactured and how they

have been stored.

• The performance of the batteries decreases temporarily at low

temperatures [below 10 °C (50 oF)], but will be restored when the

temperature returns to room temperature.

• Malfunctioning may occur under certain ambient temperatures

• In order to ensure that the batteries will function for as long as

For this reason, always make a point of replacing depleted

batteries with fresh ones.
