Batteries and Battery Chargers - Warnings
The usage of batteries is at your own risk. Before handling, ensure any user has appropriate understanding of
the charging, discharging, and installing of lithium ion batteries. Agility Technologies Corporation is not
responsible for any damage caused by misuse or mishandling of li-ion batteries and/or chargers.
Make sure to:
•
Only use approved Battery Cells recommended specifically by the manufacturer for use in the FL360.
Failure to do so could damage the camera or cause some or all of the camera functions to fail. Each FL360
Battery lithium ion cell is equipped with a protection circuit to increase safety and to minimize the
potential for risk. Nevertheless, the misuse or mishandling of lithium ion rechargeable batteries can pose a
serious risk of personal injury or property damage.
•
Use caution when working with lithium ion batteries as they are very sensitive to charging characteristics
and may explode or burn if mishandled or misused. For this reason, do not store FL360 batteries (18650) in
or near objects that will produce a static electric charge. Very quick pressure changes can cause 18650
batteries to malfunction.
•
Always charge on a fireproof surface.
•
Charge only in a recommended smart charger designed for this specific type of lithium ion battery.
•
Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
•
Recharge drained batteries as soon as possible.
•
Do not short-circuit batteries.
•
Do not mix and match old, new, used, and unused batteries.
•
Never leave batteries unattended while charging.
•
Always take the batteries out of the camera body when the FL360 Camera is not in use.
•
Do not expose batteries to extreme heat or moisture.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Regulations and laws pertaining to the recycling and disposal of lithium
ion batteries vary from country to country as well as by state and local government. Please consult your
local jurisdiction regarding appropriate disposal. Note that many retail stores offer free recycling of
rechargeable batteries.
CAUTION
: Under no circumstances are UNPROTECTED lithium-ion cells to be used in the FL360. These could
irreparably damage the onboard electronics and image sensors. Damage caused by unauthorized batteries will
void the manufacturer's warranty of the FL360.
