Note also that due to the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C (+50°F) or below). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries are recommended. h Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of batteries can greatly reduce the time for which the batteries provide power. h You will need the optional charger ( P.102) to recharge Ni-MH batteries. h See P.105 for notes on using batteries.
