Before Using the NiMH Battery Pack
This battery pack has an internal microprocessor to send the
battery status to the computer. The storage switch 1 on the
battery pack sets this microprocessor on or off. When you use
this battery pack for the first time, set the switch to the on ( | )
position.
Do not slide the storage switch to the off position ( O ) after you
set it to the on position at the time of purchase. If you set this
switch to the off position by mistake, slide the switch to the on
position ( | ); then discharge and recharge it to make sure the
microprocessor sends the correct status of the battery to the
computer.
