OVERVIEW
Guidelines and
Precautions
The 375 Field Communicator supports two types of
batteries: the NiMH Battery Pack and the Li-Ion Power
Module. The NiMH Battery Pack has a black, 4-pin
power supply/charger connector and the Li-Ion Power
Module has a green, 6-pin connector. See Figure 2-3 on
page 2-11 for the location of the connector. The label on
the back of the battery also identifies the type.
NOTE
The term "battery" is used to describe functionality
common to both types of supported batteries. Any
differences are noted.
Before using the battery or power supply/charger
(00375-0003-0005), understand and follow the
guidelines below:
• When transporting a Li-Ion Power Module, follow all
applicable regulations.
• Use the power supply/charger with the 375 Field
Communicator only. Use only the supported power
supply/charger to charge the battery. Failure to
comply may permanently damage your 375 Field
Communicator and will void the IS approval and the
warranty.
• Protect the battery and power supply/charger from
moisture.
• Do not cover the battery or power supply/charger,
subject it to direct sunlight, or place it on or next to
heat-sensitive materials.
• Do not open or modify the battery or power
supply/charger. There are no user-serviceable
components or safety elements inside. Opening or
modifying them will void the warranty.
