Battery safety
The LOGIQ Totus is supplied with lithium ion batteries.
The lithium ion technology is significantly less hazardous to the environment than the lithium metal
technology used in some other batteries (such as watch batteries). Used batteries should not be placed
with common household waste products. Contact local authorities for the location of a chemical waste
collection program nearest you.
NOTE:
Regulations vary for different countries. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
•
DO NOT short-circuit the batteries by directly connecting the negative terminals with metal objects.
•
DO NOT heat batteries or discard them into a fire.
•
DO NOT expose batteries to temperatures over 50 °C. Keep batteries away from fire and other heat
sources.
•
DO NOT charge batteries near a heat source, such as, a fire or heater.
•
DO NOT leave batteries in direct sunlight.
•
DO NOT pierce batteries with a sharp object, hit it, or step on it.
•
DO NOT use damaged batteries.
•
DO NOT apply solder to batteries.
•
DO NOT connect batteries to an electrical power outlet.
•
DO NOT immerse batteries in water or allow them to get wet.
•
DO NOT place batteries into a microwave oven or pressurized container.
•
If a battery leaks or emits an odor, remove it from all possible flammable sources.
•
If a battery emits an odor or heat, is deformed or discolored, or in a way appears abnormal during
use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it and stop using it.
NOTE:
If you have any questions about the batteries, consult your local GE HealthCare representative.
•
Store the battery pack between -10 °C (14 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F).
