Low Battery Warning; Super-Cap Internal Battery; Handling Batteries Safely - Honeywell MX7 Tecton Reference Manual

Low Battery Warning

It is recommended that the main battery pack be removed and replaced when its energy depletes. When the main battery Low
Battery Warning appears (the Status LED remains a steady red) perform an orderly shut down, minimizing the operation of any
installed devices and insuring any information is saved that should be saved.

Super-cap Internal Battery

The MX7 Tecton has an internal battery that is designed to provide limited-duration electrical power in the event of main battery
failure. The energy needed to maintain the internal battery near full charge at all times is drawn from the MX7 Tecton main
battery. It takes 5 minutes or less to fully charge the internal battery. The duration of internal battery life is dependent upon
operation of the MX7 Tecton, its features and any operating applications. The internal battery has a minimum service life of two
years. The Super-cap internal battery is replaced by Honeywell.

Handling Batteries Safely

Never dispose of a battery in a fire. This may cause an explosion.
l
Do not replace individual cells in a battery pack.
l
Do not attempt to pry open the battery pack shell.
l
Be careful when handling any battery. If a battery is broken or shows signs of leakage do not attempt to charge it.
l
Dispose of it using proper procedures.
Caution
Nickel-based cells contain a chemical solution which burns skin, eyes, etc. Leakage from cells is the only possible way for
such exposure to occur. In this event, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. If the solution contacts the eyes, get
immediate medical attention.
NiMH and Li-Ion batteries are capable of delivering high currents when accidentally shorted. Accidental shorting can occur
when contact is made with jewelry, metal surfaces, conductive tools, etc., making the objects very hot. Never place a battery
in a pocket or case with keys, coins, or other metal objects.
