36 Using the systemFor more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.■Natural discharge: The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.■Periodical full (dis)charge: Repeated recharge in midway shortens the running time gradually.To lengthen the span, charge and discharge the battery to the fullest once or twice. For optimaluse, execute the full charge/discharge every 30 to 60 days. Still better, recharge the battery afterit has run out.For a safe and efficient use of battery, follow the below directions.■Do not short-circuit the battery.■Keep the battery away from heat.■Keep the battery at room temperature (between 0 ~ 60 ).■Do not disassemble the battery pack nor throw it in water or fire.■Keep the battery out of reach of children.The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.■The system checks the charge status of LG batteries frequently, and then calculates and indicatesthe actual battery duration on the current system setup.■The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may be getting shorter as used. The batteryrunning time may also become shorter accordingly.■When the battery is fully charged the machine stops recharging, and it resumes recharging whenthe battery charge rate drops below 95%.■The Battery Status lamp may be turned off even when the battery is not fully charged, and it mayblink in orange or green even when the battery is fully charged. This happens because ofmeasures to maintain the battery life and the time gap between charge state recognition andcharge state update. You don't need to worry about this because it returns to normal in a while.
