Battery Safety
Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please contact customer service for
assistance should you need a replacement battery.
DOs
•
Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.
•
Only use the battery for its original purpose.
•
Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).
•
If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the recommended range, give it time to warm
up or cool down before using.
•
Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to four days to completely drain.
•
Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.
•
Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.
•
Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
DON’Ts
•
Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
•
Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object (e.g., by carrying it in your pocket or purse
with other metallic objects such as coins, clips and pens). This can short circuit and critically damage
the battery.
•
Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could significantly reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery.
•
Don’t dispose of the battery into a fire.
Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace the removable battery, please request the repair center
to recycle the battery in accordance with RBRC standards. When disposing of the battery by yourself, please
call RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for proper disposal tips.
Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the eyes or
skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the
eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid comes into
contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water.
Adapter/Charger
Use the Correct External Power Source
A product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If
you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your authorized service provider or local power
company. For a product that operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions
that are included with the product.
The AC Adapter/Charger designed for this unit requires the use of a standard 120 V AC power source for
device operation.
Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC adapter/charger. Never use an AC adapter/charger if it has a
damaged or worn power cord or plug. Always contact an authorized service center, if repair or replacement is
required.
Never alter the AC cord or plug on an AC adapter/charger. If the plug will not fit into the available outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
