MultiSystem 4010 Operating Instructions Hints for the treatment of the batteries The life cycle of NiMH cells can be very long, but it depends on the conditions of use. Avoid a complete discharge, continuous charging and immediate re-charging after every use. This triggers the memory effect with a minimization of the battery capacity and possible remanent damage. You can regenerate the battery by several discharge and charge cycles. In case of low battery power a hint "Load batteries" will be displayed.
