Using ports
Never apply excessive pressure or force a connector into a port, like this
may cause damage that is not under warranty. If the connector and port
do not join with reasonable ease, they probably do not match. Check
for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port
and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the
port. Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking
of cables. The cable attached to a charging unit, like any other metal
wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent
in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable.
Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends,
or other damage. Should you find any such damage, discontinue the use
of the cable.
Operating temperature
The Piavet System is designed to work best in ambient temperatures
between 0° C and 35° C (32° F and 95° F) and must be stored in
temperatures between 0° C and 45° C (32° F and 113° F). The Piavet
System can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated
outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing the Piavet System
to enormous changes in temperature or humidity. If the interior
temperature of the Piavet Measuring Device, Base Station or Charger
exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot building
or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience
the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature: (a) charging may
slow or stop, (b) recording and data transfer may be paused or delayed.
