Battery Care and Maintenance (Continued)
Battery Storage and Use Conditions
If you plan to store the PC unit at temperatures in excess of
86°F (30°C) for one or more months, remove the battery from
the PC unit and store the battery in an environment of 50 - 86°F
(10 - 30°C).
If the batteries are to be stored for more than 1 year, they
should be fully charged (16 hours) at least once per year to
prevent leakage and deterioration in performance due to
self-discharge.
When the battery has been out of use for one or more months,
it will not have full capacity.
Some temporary reduction in capacity may occur if the battery
is repeatedly partially discharged.
Battery replacement should be performed by qualified service
personnel while the instrument is not in use.
Do not open, incinerate, or short circuit the battery. Worn-out
batteries must be disposed of properly, according to local
regulations.
Proper Battery Maintenance
The battery should be conditioned every 12 months by qualified
service personnel.
The battery should be replaced every 2 years by qualified
service personnel.
