Safety
The following guidelines must be followed in order to ensure the safety of users. If these rules
are ignored Telic will not assume responsibility for any damages that are incurred.
General Battery handling
The Picotrack main power source is a battery with high energy capacity. These rechargeable
batteries are designed to provide the highest possible degree of safety. They may, however,
present a potential hazard if they are abused electrically or mechanically. This is in most
circumstances associated with the generation of excessive heat. In this case the internal pressure
may cause the cell case to rupture.
Consequently, the following general guidelines should be followed when handling the Picotrack
Battery:
Do not short-circuit
Do not over discharge
Do not incinerate
Do not expose to temperatures beyond the specified temperature range
Do not crush or puncture
Do not open cells, do not disassemble battery packs
Do not expose contents to water
Do not connect with false polarity
Do not weld or solder to the battery’s body
It is very important that only authorized official Telic replacement batteries be used in the
Picotrack. Also, the batteries included with the devices are only tested or authorized for use in
the Picotrack. The batteries should never be used in any other devices unless specifically
authorized by Telic, including but not limited to other Telic products or devices.
Battery storage
Batteries should be stored in rooms with generally low temperature and low humidity levels.
While it is not essential that these storage areas be temperature and humidity controlled,
temperatures should generally be kept below 35 °C and storage areas should be well ventilated.
Storage temperatures above 75 °C should be avoided.
Your Picotrack batteries should be stored in their original packaging materials or in the Picotrack
itself. This will eliminate unintentional short-circuiting. Do not store batteries in conductive anti-
static bags or foam unless the resistivity of the material exceeds 1 MΩ. Batteries should not be
placed on or covered with metallic or otherwise conductive material.
Batteries should be stored away from any flammable material in the storage area. Fire
extinguishers for metal fire (class D) are preferred. Do not attempt to extinguish fires with small
amounts of water, sand, or with carbon dioxide extinguishers.
