2) Partially charge the battery. Remove the battery from the
touch panel and store in a cool dry place such as the
refrigerator. DO NOT FREEZE.
NOTE: Both methods aid in increasing the overall battery life of
your VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel, and help prevent the
battery from reaching a non recoverable deep discharged
state.
Battery Deep Discharge State
A battery “ deep discharge ” state is caused when the battery voltage dis-
charges (or drains) to such a low voltage level that the battery can no
longer hold a charge or cannot be recharged. This can happen if the VIA!2-
8.4 Wireless Touch Panel is not recharged over extended periods of time,
such as when leaving the VIA!2-8.4 Touch Panel at a summer home where
long periods of inactivity may occur.
After deep discharge it may be possible to recharge the battery by plug-
ging/unplugging the AC/DC power from the device several times to see if
the charging LED comes on and battery shows some operational capacity
after a several minutes of charging. In extreme cases the battery voltage
level will be too low for recharging and the battery will need to be
replaced.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to
the instructions. Failure to comply may result in serious
injury.
