ABOUT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• The Handheld Device and GPS Collar contain Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture,
deform, short-circuit, or charge with an inappropriate Charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or
bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
regulations in your area.
• Risk of explosion if batteries are charged in areas with high temperature (38° C / 100° F+).
• Batteries should never be removed from the battery compartment for charging.
• The rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are not memory sensitive, do not require depletion before
charging and cannot be over charged.
• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This should be
done once every 3 to 4 months. Failure to do so will result in decreased battery life.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable batteries
lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your
operating time drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Centre.
• The batteries should last for a period of 3 to 5 years. When a battery needs replacement, call our Customer Care
Centre. Please do not open the GPS Collar until you have received your replacement.
• When storing the device for an extended time, store within the following temperature range: from 0° to 25°C
(from 32°F to 77°F).
