Battery Precautions
•
Before disposing of a battery, check your local laws, rules, and regulations, and follow them
accordingly.
•
Transportation of lithium-ion batteries or AA-size lithium metal batteries is regulated by the
United Nations under the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods. It is expected that governments, intergovernmental organizations, and other international
organizations shall conform to the principles laid down in these regulations, thus contributing to
worldwide harmonization in this field. These international organizations include the
International Civil Aviation organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association
(IATA), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the US Department of Transportation
(USDOT), Transport Canada (TC), and others. Please contact the transporter and confirm current
regulations before transportation of lithium-ion batteries or lithium metal batteries.
•
Do not open, crush, or perforate batteries; doing so could cause injury.
•
Do not incinerate batteries. Keep batteries away from fire and other sources of extreme heat.
Exposing batteries to extreme heat (over 80 °C) could result in an explosion or personal injury.
•
Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse a battery, as doing so could expose the cell contents, which
are corrosive and explosive.
•
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit could cause injury and severe damage
to a battery, making it unusable.
•
Do not expose a battery to moisture or rain; doing so could cause an electric shock.
•
Only use the NORTEC 600 unit or an external charger approved by Olympus to charge the
batteries.
•
Only use batteries supplied by Olympus.
•
Do not store batteries that have less than 40 % remaining charge. Recharge batteries to between
40 % and 80 % capacity before storing them.
•
During storage, keep the battery charge between 40 % and 80 %.
•
Do not leave batteries in the NORTEC 600 unit during instrument storage.
