WARNING
SAFETY HAZARD WARNINGS FOR LITHIUM ION BATTERIES:
The rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries within the Visiotech Body Camera are potentially hazardous and
can present a serious FIRE HAZARD if damaged, defective or improperly used. Lithium batteries
requiring frequent full discharge cycles require special precautions.
A FIRE IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS UNDER THE FOLLOWING
CIRCUMSTANCES:
THE BATTERY HAS BEEN FULLY DISCHARGED AND IS NOT RECHARGED SHORTLY AFTERWARD.
This potential is aggravated if batteries are damaged, contain an undetected factory defect, are used or stored
at temperature extremes,
or are approaching the end of their useful life
. Ideally, batteries should be
recharged within 24 hours of a full discharge.
CHARGING IS ATTEMPTED AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 40°F (4°C).
Charging below 40°F (4°C), causes
a chemical reaction in the battery cells that can cause permanent damage and the possibility of fire or
explosion during charging.
THE BATTERY HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY SALTWATER.
Exposure to liquids can
cause internal corrosion or damage to the cells or to the Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS
protects the battery from overcharging, high self- discharge or imbalanced charging of the cells, any of which
can present the possibility of fire during recharging.
OPERATING OR CHARGING A BATTERY THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED FROM DROPPING OR FROM
SHIPPING DAMAGE.
USING A CHARGER OTHER THAN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR THE PARTICULAR BATTERY.
Lithium Ion battery chargers provide a specific charging voltage and microprocessor current and voltage
control.
THE BODY CAMERA SHOULD ONLY GET SLIGHTLY WARM DURING CHARGING.
If the camera becomes
hot, smokes, or gives off an odour during charging, terminate charging immediately and contact Comvision.
