LITHIUM ION BATTERY SAFETY AND CHARGING INFORMATION
Battery/Charging Precautions and Recommendations -
•
Do not allow battery pack to short-circuit, even for a moment.
•
Always protect battery packs from shock, puncture, and impact, i.e., do not drop or transport in
a tool box, trunk, back of van, etc. where they can “bang around”. The best practice is to keep
them in the padded case while not in use.
•
Do not use or attempt to charge a battery pack that is leaking or shows any signs of damage.
•
Never charge a battery pack at temperatures below or above 0°C/40°C respectively.
•
Do not operate a battery pack at temperatures below or above -30°C/55°C respectively.
•
Keep the battery packs away from rain/ moisture when not enclosed in housing/case.
•
Always charge battery packs on a non-flammable surface and away from all flammable material.
•
Remove packs from equipment or case compartment before charging.
•
Do not attempt to tamper with or disassemble batteries or chargers.
•
Batteries may become warm during use or charge.
•
Remaining charge on battery is indicated by pressing the button beneath the LED display on left side.
•
Battery packs should be recharged as soon as possible after discharge unless they are not in the
appropriate temperature range. Ideally, charging should occur at room temperature on packs that
have been allowed to warm up or cool down to room temperature.
•
Battery pack sets should be “rotated”, even if second set is not needed during an inspection session,
i.e. once the first has been partially or fully used remove it from the pole for recharge and use the
second set of batteries for the next session.
•
Partial charges or discharges are acceptable without causing “memory effect”, although constant
operation under those conditions should be avoided.
Charging Procedure -
Standard Wall Adapter -
•
Connect charger to battery pack using connector on the top right side of the battery pack.
•
When the charger LED is red, the battery is charging.
•
When the charger LED switches to green, the battery is fully charged.
Optional Base Station Charger -
•
Using optional shore power cable, the base station charger can be used to power the QZ3 camera for
in-office use.
•
Charger can power the camera while simultaneously charging batteries.
•
Attach batteries to be charged to the charging port on the base station charger. To remove the
battery, a release button on each port must be pressed.
•
When the charger LED is red, the battery is charging.
•
When the charger LED switches to green, the battery is fully charged.
•
Remove batteries from charger when unplugging the base station charger to avoid draining the charge.
•
Unplug base station when not in use.
