Battery Safety Guidelines - Motorola ES400 Regulatory Manual

When batteries are stored over six (6) months, some irreversible
deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. Store batteries at
half of full charge in a dry, cool place, removed from the equipment to
prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and electrolyte
leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, the charge
level should be verified at least once a year and charged to half of full
charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.
Standard warranty period for all Motorola batteries is one year,
regardless if the battery was purchased separately or included as
part of the mobile computer. For more information on Motorola

Dispose of batteries according to instructions.

Battery Safety Guidelines

• The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris
and combustible materials or chemicals. Particular care should be
taken where the device is charged in a non commercial
environment.
• Follow battery usage, storage, and charging guidelines found in
the user's guide.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other
hazard.
• To charge the mobile device battery, the battery and charger
temperatures must be between +32ºF and +104ºF (0ºC and
+40ºC)
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Use of an
incompatible battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions
about the compatibility of a battery or a charger, contact Motorola
Enterprise Mobility support.
• To enable authentication of an approved battery, as required by
IEEE1725 clause 10.2.1, all batteries will carry a Motorola
hologram. Do not fit any battery without checking it has the
Motorola authentication hologram.
• For devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the
device shall only be connected to products that bear the USB-IF
logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or
shred.
• Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a
hard surface could cause the battery to overheat.
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic or conductive objects
to contact the battery terminals.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects
into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, or
expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• Do not leave or store the equipment in or near areas that might get
very hot, such as in a parked vehicle or near a radiator or other
heat source. Do not place battery into a microwave oven or dryer.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used
re-chargeable batteries.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in
contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the
affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical
advice.
• If you suspect damage to your equipment or battery, contact
Motorola Enterprise Mobility support to arrange for inspection.
