SO-801 Hand-Held Slit Lamp
User Manual
BATTERY SAFETY
Do not store or carry the battery so that metal objects can contact the
exposed metal end. The red battery caps supplied may be used to protect
the end of the battery while it is not in use. Remove the battery cap
before placing the battery in the slit lamp or in the charger. Do not
attempt to disassemble the battery. Batteries should not be disposed of by
incineration. If battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. The battery liquid is a 25 - 35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.
BATTERY CAPACITY
The capacity of modern nickel cadmium batteries is not often affected by
the battery discharge “memory”, and so it is not necessary to fully
discharge the battery each time before charging. However, if the battery is
stored for a long period it may be necessary to fully discharge and
recharge it a few times to restore full capacity.
