Battery safety
To prevent a battery from leaking, heating up, catching fire, bursting, etc.,
be sure to follow the cautions below:
• Do not cahrge the battery in any other way than specified in this manual.
• Do not throw the battery into fire, short-circuit it, take it apart, or heat it in
an oven such as a microwave.
• Do not charge the battery near fire or in direct, bright sunlight, or do not
leave it in a car.
• Do not subject your CLIÉ handheld to excessive shock.
Take care not to drop your CLIÉ handheld, give pressure to it with a sharp
object, or place any heavy objects on it to prevent a malfunction.
• If you touch an electric leakage or have it in your eyes, bathe with clean
water immediately, and consult your doctor.
Charging
• It takes approximately 5 hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the
battery is empty.
• If you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few minutes to
charge the battery.

the maximum level when the HOLD mode is not set.
