Definition of Use

• Charging and discharging of Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries.
• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/ +32°F to
+104°F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient
temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recom-
mended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature
is too high.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single refreshing cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out a
refreshing cycle when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Leica Geosys-
tems product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity available.
• Use of the product without instruction.
• Use outside of the intended use and limits.
• Disabling safety systems.
• Removal of hazard notices.
• Opening the product using tools, for example screwdriver, unless this is permitted for
certain functions.
• Modification or conversion of the product.
• Use after misappropriation.
• Use of products with recognisable damages or defects.
