AEMC PowerPad III 8336 User Manual page 4

Your instrument is equipped with a NiMH battery. This technology offers several advantages:
● Long battery charge life for a limited volume and weight.
● Possibility of quickly recharging your battery.
● Significantly reduced memory effect: you can recharge your battery even if it is not fully discharged.
● Respect for the environment: no pollutant materials such as lead or cadmium, in compliance with the applicable
regulations.
After prolonged storage, the battery may be completely discharged. If so, it must be completely recharged. Your
instrument may not function during part of this recharging operation. Full recharging of a completely discharged battery
may take several hours.
NOTE: In this case, at least 5 charge/discharge cycles will be necessary for your battery to recover 95% of its capacity.
To make the best possible use of your battery and extend its effective service life:
● Only use the charger supplied with your instrument. Use of another charger may be dangerous.
● Only charge your instrument at temperatures between 0° and 40°C.
● Comply with the conditions of use defined in the operating manual.
● Comply with the storage conditions specified in the operating manual.
NiMH technology allows a limited number of charge/discharge cycles depending significantly on:
● The conditions of use.
● The charging conditions.
Do not dispose of the battery pack with other solid waste. Used batteries must be entrusted to a qualified
recycling company or to a company specialized in processing hazardous materials.
