General Battery Safety - NETGEAR Nighthawk M2 MR2100 User Manual

• If a battery exhibits significantly shorter runtime or discharge capacity compared to
when it was new, it reached the end of its reasonable lifetime. Consider replacing
it.
• If a battery does not charge or exhibits excessive charging time, it is possible that it
reached the end of its life and might need to be replaced.
• All batteries degrade and lose charge capacity over time as a result of use or storage
and must eventually be replaced.
• Batteries are best stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid storage in direct sunlight
and in vehicles parked outdoors.
• Batteries might get warm while charging and discharging. This is normal behavior
for all batteries.
• Use the AC adapter and the USB cable that came with this device.
• Use the latest firmware. Check for updates on a regular basis.
• Device performance and runtime are affected by workload or usage. Higher
workloads or usage can lead to higher battery temperatures and faster battery power
consumption.
• Streaming large amounts of data affects the power consumption and reduces the
operating time of the battery.

General Battery Safety

Observe the following guidelines:
• Stop using a battery if its case appears damaged, swollen, or compromised. Examples
include, but are not limited to, leaking, odors, dents, corrosion, rust, cracks, swelling,
melting, and scratches.
• Do not expose batteries to fire or other heat generating environments.
• Do not place the battery or the device in areas that might get hot. Examples include,
but are not limited to, on or near a space heater, cooking surface, cooking appliance,
iron, radiator, or fireplace.
• Do not get the battery or the device wet. Even though it might dry and appear to
operate normally, the circuitry can slowly corrode and defeat its safety circuitry.
• Do not crush, puncture, deform, or put a high degree of pressure on the battery,
which can cause an internal short circuit, resulting in overheating.
• Avoid dropping the battery or the device. Dropping it, especially on a hard surface,
might cause damage to the battery and the device. If you suspect damage to the
battery or the device, replace it.
