Battery information
•
Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not disassemble or dispose of them in
fire.
•
Do not tamper with batteries. Keep them away from children.
•
Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.
•
This device uses a Lithium battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet or corrosive environment.
•
Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high temperature
location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do
not expose it to temperatures over 50° C (122° F).
•
Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode
or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery.
•
If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with
water and seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the
lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at temperatures below 0° C (32° F) or above
40° C (104° F).
•
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge
and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the operation time becomes noticeably shorter than
normal, buy a new battery. Use only the approved batteries, and recharge your battery only
with the approved chargers designated for this device.
•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery.
Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen
causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-)terminals of the battery. (These
look like metal strips on the battery.)
