16  Using Your Jetpack 

• 

When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, 
dark, dry place.

• 

Never expose batteries to temperatures below -22°F (-30°C) 
or above 140°F (60°C).

• 

Never leave the Jetpack in an unattended vehicle due 
to uncontrollable temperatures that may be outside the 
desired temperature for this Jetpack.

• 

Some batteries perform best after several full charge/
discharge cycles.

• 

It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require 
longer charging time. If you notice a change in your battery 
life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

Important   

Whenever you remove or insert either the battery or the SIM 
card, ensure your Jetpack is not connected to any device or 
power source.
