Battery Cautions and Disposal
Battery replacement should be performed by qualified service
personnel while the instrument is not in use.
Do not open, incinerate or short
circuit. Worn–out batteries must be
disposed of properly, according to
local regulations.
CAUTION
Battery Care (Continued)
If the batteries are to be stored for more than
1
year, they
should be charged at least once per year to prevent leakage
and deterioration in performance due to self-discharge.
When the battery is first being put into use, or has been out of
use for
1
or more months, it will not have full capacity due to
deactivation of reactants.
Restore such batteries to original performance by repeating
1
or
2
cycles of fully charging and fully discharging.
Some temporary reduction in capacity might become apparent
if the battery is partially discharged repeatedly. Doing
1
or
2
cycles of full discharge and full charge can restore full
performance.
