Battery Instructions

•

Be careful not to drop the battery.

•

Contact the appropriate local authority for advice
when disposing of batteries.

•

For battery label, see section,

Labels on the

Carevo.

Storage of Batteries

•

The battery is delivered charged but we
recommend you recharge the battery when
received due to a slow self discharge.

•

This battery will slowly self discharge when not
used.

•

A battery not in use should be stored in a
temperature range of -0 °C (32 °F) to
+ 30 °C (86 °F).

•

For maximum battery performance do not store
the battery above 50 °C (122 °F).

Charging Intervals

•

To prolong the life of the battery, charge it at
regular intervals, i.e. every night.

WARNING

To avoid bodily injury, do NOT crush,
puncture, open, dismantle or otherwise
mechanically interfere with the battery.
•

Should the battery casing crack and
cause contents to come in contact with
skin or clothing, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.

•

If contents come in contact with the
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water and seek medical attention.

•

Inhalation of the contents can cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air
and medical attention.

CAUTION

To avoid the battery from overheating and
exploding, do NOT expose the battery to
flames or excessive heat.

•

If the

Carevo

is used frequently, it is

recommended to use two batteries, one in
operation and one as a stand-by in the charger.

•

It’s recommended that a battery not in use is left in
the charger. There is no risk of overcharging the
battery.

Battery Service Life

Make sure to always have two well functional batteries,
one to use and one in storage.

If using a freshly charged battery and the battery
indicator starts to flash and sound after only a few
activities are carried out, it is time to order a new
battery.

Low Charge Warning

A buzzer sound will go off when the battery reaches a
low charge. The battery should then be recharged as
soon as possible.

Installation of Charger
