1.2.4 Prevent Short Circuiting the Battery Pack
Be extra cautious when carrying the rechargeable battery pack; short
circuiting will produce surge current possibly resulting in fire.
DON'T carry with metals of
any type, e.g. chains.
Do enclose inside a non-conductive enclosure. (bags or
handkerchief made only of non-conductive material)
Caution
• The battery pack isn't fully charged when shipped. It must be
charged before use.
• Charging should be conducted in a temperature range of 0ºC to
+40ºC (+32ºF to +104ºF).
• Don't modify, dismantle, incinerate or immerse the battery pack in
the water as this can be dangerous.
• Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals, as this can cause
damage to the equipment or lead to heating of the battery which
may cause burns.
• Unnecessary prolonged charging (overcharging) can deteriorate
battery performance.
• The battery pack should be stored in a dry place where
temperature is in -10ºC to +40ºC (14ºF to 104ºF) range.
Temperatures outside this range can cause the battery liquid to
leak. Exposure to prolonged high humidity can cause corrosion of
metal components.
• Battery-packs are a consuming part. When its operating time
becomes considerably short after a normal charge, please
consider that the pack is exhausted and replace it with a new one.
• The battery pack is recyclable. Check with your local waste
officials for details on recycling options or proper disposal in your
14
area.
DON'T carry the battery
pack inside bags made of
conductive materials.
