CAUTION
WHEN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER PLATE IS REMOVED AND THE
ADTS TOUCH IS TILTED WITH THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT FACING
DOWNWARDS, THE BATTERY CAN FALL OUT OF THE ADTS TOUCH CAUSING
DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY.
2. Use the tab attached to the battery to slide the battery out of the battery
compartment.
3. Fit a new or re-charged battery into the battery compartment, observing the keyed
orientation.
Note: The battery does not necessarily need to be new or re-charged. The ADTS Touch will
function safely and correctly with a flat battery when the umbilical cable or dock charging
supply is connected.
4. Refit the battery compartment cover plate and tighten the two thumbscrews (5). The
cover must be fitted correctly to maintain protection afforded.
Battery care and maintenance
The battery unit contains a Lithium Ion battery which requires no user maintenance.
Prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may significantly reduce battery
lifetime. For maximum lifetime, avoid prolonged periods where the battery is exposed
to temperatures outside the range -30°C to +45°C.
The recommended storage temperature range is 5°C to 21°C (41°F to 98.8°F).
The battery is removable. The manufacturer makes the following safety
recommendations. The User should not:
• Short circuit the battery.
• Immerse the battery in any liquid.
• Disassemble or deform the battery.
• Expose to, or dispose of the battery in a fire.
• Subject the battery to excessive physical shock or vibration outside the specified limits
for the ADTS.
• Use a battery that appears to have suffered abuse.
• Charge with an unspecified charger or specified charger that has been modified. This
can cause breakdown of the battery or swelling and rupturing.
• Use a battery in an appliance or purpose for which it was not intended.
The battery unit is sealed for life, so leakage of electrolyte is not expected. If leakage of
electrolyte from the battery is observed, stop using the battery immediately and avoid
contact with the electrolyte. If skin or clothes come into contact with the electrolyte,
wash immediately with soap and water. If electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes,
wash the eyes thoroughly with water and consult a doctor immediately.
Always dispose of batteries safely and in accordance with local instructions.
