9.3  Caring for your Equipment 

 

Do not subject the unit to physical abuse, excessive shock or vibration 

 

Do not drop, jar or throw the unit 

 

Do not carry the unit by the antenna 

 

Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or liquids 

 

Do not submerse the unit unless it is designed to be submersible 

 

Do not expose the unit to corrosives, solvents, cleaners or mineral spirits 

 

Avoid exposure to excessive cold and heat 

 

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight 

 

Do not place or leave units on surfaces that are unstable 

 

Only use accessories intended for the specific make and model of your unit, especially batteries, 

chargers and power adapters. 

 

9.4  Charging 

 

Use approved batteries, chargers and adapters designed specifically for your make and model 

unit 

 

Do not attempt to charge a wet unit or battery pack 

 

Do not charge the unit or battery pack near anything flammable 

 

Stabilize the battery pack to room temperature (22°C) before charging 

 

Do not charge units and/or battery packs on wet or unstable surfaces 

 

Do not leave units and/or batteries in chargers for excessive periods 

 

9.5  Working with Lithium Batteries 

 

Charge only with the approved charging cable 

 

Batteries are to be used only for the specified purpose. Incorrect use will invalidate the warranty 

and may make the battery become dangerous. 

 

Charge in a clean, dry environment ideally at 10°C (0 to 45°C is permissible). 

 

Do not store or operate in direct sunlight for extended periods. Battery can be damaged by over-

heating, for example if placed on the rear parcel shelf of a motor vehicle. 

 

Store in a cool dry environment. Storage at elevated temperatures can cause permanent loss of 

capacity. 

 

For short term storage (less than six months), store in a fully charged state. 

 

For extended periods of storage (more than one year), charge before storage and recharge every 

six to nine months. 

 

Always fully recharge the battery after any storage period greater than one month before use. 

 

Do not store the battery with the charge depleted as this can cause failure of the battery and 

invalidate warranty. 

 

Do not short circuit 

 

Do not immerse in water 

 

Do not incinerate. Cells are likely to explode if placed in a fire.
